Abstract
The Very Large Array (VLA) and satellite-borne telescopes can be used in the 1990s to provide unique observations of the quiescent and active corona with comparable resolution in time and space. Recently available 90-cm VLA data specify closed and open magnetic structures in the low solar corona, providing unique information about the initiating source of coronal mass ejections observed by satellite coronagraphs. The physical properties of quiescent coronal loops can be inferred from combined soft X-ray (electron density and temperature) and 20-cm VLA (magnetic field strength and structure) data. Systems of coronal loops within a single active region have different temperatures and different radiation mechanisms that can only be detected by observations in both spectral domains. The combined VLA-satellite observations will also specify magnetic interaction and particle acceleration before and during flares, including magnetic triggering in the corona (VLA) and preflare heating (VLA-satellite).
