This cartoon further explores the
Melrose
analysis of two interacting coronal current systems.
See also the Ionson and
Alfven-Carlqvist
cartoons in the currents-do-matter genre, which emphasizes the role of
non-neutralized currents
connecting the corona to the solar convection zone.
This paper discusses the role of helicity in a stability analysis
of the reconnection of such current paths, in a two-loop model.
