A Giant Coronal Arch Observed by Skylab
Abstract
The limb event of 13 August 1973, observed by Skylab in soft X-rays, has all the typical characteristics of the giant post-flare arches observed by HXIS and FCS on board SMM in the 1980s. Skylab images provide us with 4-5 times better angular resolution than the SMM experiments and thus, for the first time, make it possible to distinguish the real fine structure of a giant post-flare arch. The image processing of the 13/14 August 1973 event is now in progress.
