Loop modeling of stellar coronae and their spectra

Abstract

This paper considers a loop model of the corona and compares it with an ana1ogous isothermai slab modei; in particular it evaluates how the predicted spectra differ and how much such differences are significant. We study the influence ori the spectra and the intensity of loop emission of heat conduction regime already known to affect the plasma stratification inside coronal loops. The scope is to obtain a good grasp on these issues in the perspective of applying them to the detailed modeling of stellar and solar coronal emission in terms of emission from loop
