Description:
                TEMPERATURE ANALYSIS OF DIFFUSE CORONA

The data, prepared with SXT_PREP:

IDL> print,get_info(iout(ii))
   0  8-MAY-92  03:24:02  QT/H  Open /AlMg  Half Norm C  28 15108.0  512x512
   1  8-MAY-92  03:26:10  QT/H  Open /Al.1  Half Norm C  28 15108.0  512x512
   2  8-MAY-92  06:45:56  QT/H  Open /AlMg  Half Norm C  28 15108.0  512x512
   3  8-MAY-92  06:48:02  QT/H  Open /Al.1  Half Norm C  28 15108.0  512x512
   4  9-MAY-92  16:15:56  QT/H  Open /AlMg  Half Norm C  28 15108.0  512x512
   5  9-MAY-92  16:13:48  QT/H  Open /Al.1  Half Norm C  28 15108.0  512x512

The results:

UL)  Region chosen for Diffuse Corona Analysis

The picture is a sum of the following 3 images

   0  8-MAY-92  03:26:10  QT/H  Open /Al.1  Half Norm C  28 15108.0  512x512
   1  8-MAY-92  06:48:02  QT/H  Open /Al.1  Half Norm C  28 15108.0  512x512
   2  9-MAY-92  16:13:48  QT/H  Open /Al.1  Half Norm C  28 15108.0  512x512

and the region used for the temperature analysis is indicated by the
boundary in the NE and on the disk.  This is a region spanning the boundary
between 2 weak "unipolar" regions.

UR)  SXT signals for the sum of 3 15 sec exposures, averaged over annuli as
a function of distance from sun center.  Half-resolution (4.91") pixels.

LL)  Temperatures

The plot shows:

	a. The individual temperatures as + symbols.
        b. The 6-point smoothed temperatures as the thick white line.
	c. The 1 sigma errors on the smoothed temperatures as the colored
	   lines.

LR)  Emission Measure for the individual temperatures, 6-point smoothed.
