New observational signatures of the heating process(es) have been revealed by space missions including SoHO, TRACE, Yohkoh, and RHESSI. Evidences for heating in the quiet corona, active region loops, and the solar wind are different and must be distinguished. Prime indications come from line broadening and waves, the distribution of temperature and radiation loss in relation to height, the correlation of magnetic flux and brightness, nanoflares and other fluctuations. This review concentrates on microevents observed at coronal temperatures. The reported nanoflares in quiet regions are about 2 orders of magnitude smaller than microflares reported in active regions and exhibit less radio emission. To estimate the impact of these microevents on the corona, the effects from a localized energy release must be considered, regardless of the energy source (reconnection or waves). In particular, the coupling with the chromosphere, i.e. the back-reaction of the chromosphere on coronal energy release, has an important effect on the corona. A necessary requirement for the heating process(es) is to deposit most of the heat in the low corona, but to heat also the upper corona to even higher temperature. Finally, the heating process must be able to account for the coronae of more active stars showing coronal emissions at levels of more than 3 orders of magnitude higher than the Sun.

AbstractA model for the energetics of solar flares, developed by Melrose (1997), is based on magnetic reconnection between two current-carrying magnetic loops. A detailed numerical investigation of the model has been made to identify those configurations that lead to energy release in a flare. Our results predict a strong relation between the ratio of currents in the interacting loops for a favoured flare configuration, and provide further support for a proposed method of generating long loops connecting different active regions. Both of these predictions are amenable to observational verification.

AbstractThe synoptic charts of solar rotations 1831 and 1844 have been drawn up, corresponding to the eclipses of 22 July 1990 and 11 July 1991. These charts contain the active regions and the filaments, and show the position of the solar limb, at the time of the eclipse. They are for use in studying the coronal structures observed during these eclipses. The variation of these structures is given in the table. The last section of the article contains a formula for identifying the structures out of the limb.

AbstractThis paper deals with a possibility to use the ground-based method of observation in order to solve basic problems connected with the solar corona research. Namely:1.heating of the solar corona2.course of the global cycle in the corona3.rotation of the solar corona and development of active regions.There is stressed a possibility of high-time resolution of the coronal line photometer at Lomnický Peak coronal station, and use of the latter to obtain crucial observations.
