Abstract: | Yohkoh and the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS) on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) jointly observed two
brightenings in active region NOAA 7981 on 6 August 1996. Combining the UV data from CDS with information from the high time
resolution coronal images obtained with the Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) on Yohkoh, provides us with important information on
the relationship between the transition region and corona. Our observations show that cool plasma (Te = 2.2 x 10-5 K) can lie at the same altitude as the hot coronal plasma (Te = 1–4 x 106 K). The lower temperature structure is not formed from the cooling of the hotter coronal loop. We are also able to observe
a low temperature cut-off of Te = 1–4 x 106 K for a loop which repeatedly brightened over the period of approximately one day. |
