Stability and mode analysis of solar coronal loops using thermodynamic irreversible energy principles

Aims. We study the modes and stability of non-isothermal coronal loop models with different intensity values of the equilibrium magnetic field. Methods. We use an energy principle obtained via non-equilibrium thermodynamic arguments. The principle is expressed in terms of Hermitian operators and all...
