Computing the DEM out of MHD Simulations and Comparing It with Observations
Abstract
We show how to compute differential emission measure, or DEM, out of the temperature and density distributions obtained from 3D MHD simulations of the solar corona. Our 3D MHD model has thermal conduction, radiative losses, and coronal heating terms in the energy equation and has been used extensively to model realistic configurations of the corona and active regions. Now we can now compare with the observations not only the emission in EUV and X ray bands but also the DEM. Comparisons with July 2010 eclipse will be presented.
