- SOME RESULTS IN A NUTSHELL
-
- NIS analysis has shown the presence of significant plasma flows in active region loops. Up-flowing plasma has reached
- velocities of 100 km/s. A new feature was a strong high-velocity event located in the leg of an active-region loop thus
- being a challenge to theoretical models causing a re-examination of the contribution from explosive events to coronal
- heating.
-
- The right panel in animation (upper right corner) shows the line profile from different sections of the loop seen in the
- left panel. The shift of the spectral line is shown on a velocity scale in the top right panel. This clearly illustrates the
- strength of the CDS instrument which retains the spectral information in the images.
