Can Yohkoh/SXT observe coronal MHD turbulence?
Abstract
The question of whether the Yokoh Soft-X-ray Telescope (SXT) would be sufficiently spatially resolved for observing power spectra of the distribution of X-ray intensity was investigated. SXT soft X-ray images were simulated by artificially degrading the resolution of the digitized Normal Incidence X-ray Telescope X-ray images analyzed by Gomez and Martens (1992) were analyzed. Results of spectral analysis of the resulting images demonstrate that the Yohkoh SXT will be able to observe power spectra over a sufficient range of spatial scales.
