Possible Mechanism of Enhancement of Diamagnetic Current Dissipation during the Heating of Magnetic Flux Tubes in the Solar Corona

  • 1. Russian Academy of Sciences, Pushkov Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere, and Radio Wave Propagation (Russian Federation)

Description

It is shown that dissipation of the diamagnetic current heating the coronal plasma with the classical conductivity in the absence of a longitudinal current can increase significantly due to the cellular transverse microstructure of the flux tube, thereby compensating for intense radiative losses.
