Hopf bifurcations in coronal loops. II. Nonlinear evolution of instabilities

In a previous paper, we have modeled the coupling between corona and chromosphere and derived a non-linear set of equations, where the global stability properties of the coronal plasma can be studied. The linear stability analysis indicates that the static equilibrium is stable unless the heating ra...
