SDO-AIA Multithermal Analysis of Solar Coronal Features
Abstract
Data from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) will be used to investigate the multithermal properties of coronal features, including active regions, coronal loops, and bright points. AIA takes full-Sun images in multiple wave-lengths nearly simultaneously, with a spatial resolution of about 1 arcsec and a cadence of about 10 seconds. The eight AIA passbands cover temperatures from 20 thousand to 20 million de-grees, which allows us to image, analyze, and model evolving coronal plasma with the best combination of spatial, temporal, and thermal resolution ever achieved. Differential Emission Measure analysis will be used to investigate the temperature distributions of different coronal features. These results will be presented and discussed.
