Thermal Structure: Recent Observations
Leader: Harry Warren
New observations from STEREO, XRT, and EIS have greatly expanded our ability to observe the thermal structure of the solar corona. These observations are likely to have important implications for the analysis of AIA observations.
Brief Talks on Recent Results (50 minutes)
- STEREO Observations of 1 MK Loops in 3D - Aschwanden (12 min)
- EIS Observations of Overdense 1 MK Loops - Warren (12 min)
- EIS Observations of Hot Lines - Patsourakos (12 min)
- XRT Observations of Active Regions - Reeves (12 min)
Discussion (40 minutes)
- What are the main observational questions that need to be pursued with AIA and how can they be achieved? For example, how can we best determine the physical parameters (e.g., density, temperature, pressure, and filling factor) of loops as a function of time with AIA? Will we need other observations (e.g., EIS density diagnostics or different vantage points from STEREO)? Are special codes needed (e.g., loop identification codes)?
