Combined XRT and AIA Differential Emission Measure Analysis of Active Region Loops and Weak Flares
Abstract
The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) provides excellent new tools for exploring the thermal properties of active regions at high cadence. The thick filters of the Hinode X-ray Telescope (XRT), however, can add important additional constraints on high temperature plasma, particularly in flares. We demonstrate the power of combined AIA and XRT studies by conducting a joint AIA+XRT differential emission measure analysis of an active region loop and a weak flare.
