Project:   Constraining the Heating Mechanisms of Non-Flaring Coronal Loops
 
 

During Week 2 here I played with some practice data for my project from EIT.  The postscripts that resulted from that work are below:

Intensity vs. Wavelength Plot for EIT data
EIT Response
Data Numbers/second

Week 3 I learned a bit about CHIANTI, which is an atomic database.  I generated synthetic spectra and learned the limitations of approximations.

I spent the rest of the time looking for candidate loops and then analyzing them.  The results can be found in my  FINAL PRESENTATION!
