Coronal loops: observations and modeling of confined plasma

F Reale - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2014 - Springer
Coronal loops are the building blocks of the X-ray bright solar corona. They owe their
brightness to the dense confined plasma, and this review focuses on loops mostly as …

MJ Aschwanden - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2011 - Springer
We review stereoscopic and tomographic methods used in the solar corona, including
ground-based and space-based measurements, using solar rotation or multiple spacecraft …

Automated temperature and emission measure analysis of coronal loops and active regions observed with the atmospheric imaging assembly on the solar dynamics …

MJ Aschwanden, P Boerner, CJ Schrijver… - Solar Physics, 2013 - Springer
We developed numerical codes designed for automated analysis of SDO/AIA image
datasets in the six coronal filters, including: i) coalignment test between different …

Measurements of coronal magnetic field strengths in solar active region loops

DH Brooks, HP Warren, E Landi - The Astrophysical Journal …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
The characteristic electron densities, temperatures, and thermal distributions of 1 MK active
region loops are now fairly well established, but their coronal magnetic field strengths …

The width distribution of loops and strands in the solar corona—are we hitting rock bottom?

MJ Aschwanden, H Peter - The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
In this study, we analyze Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) and Hi-C images in order to
investigate absolute limits for the finest loop strands. We develop a model of the occurrence …

Observations of active region loops with the EUV imaging spectrometer on Hinode

HP Warren, I Ugarte-Urra, GA Doschek… - The Astrophysical …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
Previous solar observations have shown that coronal loops near 1 MK are difficult to
reconcile with simple heating models. These loops have lifetimes that are long relative to a …
