Abstract
This paper reviews research highlights of the past five years. Considerable progress has been made in observing and interpreting coronal mass ejections. The stability of coronal loops is much better understood and new observations of the onset of wind streams in coronal holes have been made. Observations from the Solar Maximum Mission should helpt to clarify the physics of the active corona.
The mechanisms that heat the corona and accelerate the high-speed wind streams remain to be identified, however.
