Abstract
Yohkoh soft X-ray telescope brought plenty of high quality images, it provides a good chance to research coronal loops, especially for transequatorial loops (TLs). In this paper, we focus on the statistical results of TLs including static properties and dynamic properties. There are two types of classification about TLs: according to configuration and according to magnetic polarities of footpoints, respectively. The footpoints of TLs never root in sunspot, in a general way, they exist in moderately strong field. The mean separation value of TLs is close to 30° and the separation value varies with solar cycle. The helicity patterns of active regions connected by TLs are discussed, the mean twist value of TLs is close to zero. The formation of TLs is generally thought to be caused by magnetic reconnection, the relationship of TLs eruption with flare and CME is introduced.
