Hi everyone,
In the spirit of a number of recent papers that have been focused on trying
to determine the dominant components of the emission in the wavelength
channels of imaging instruments (AIA, in particular), Jim and I would like
to share with you all a link to a paper on this very topic that was recently
published in the ApJ Supplement Series:
http://iopscience.iop.org/0067-0049/194/2/26/pdf/apjs_194_2_26.pdf
Our aim in carrying out the work described in this paper was to provide a
large amount of quantitative data from our modeling studies that we hope
will be of use in the analysis of observationally gathered data.
Best wishes,
Steve

Hello all,
here is a link to a preprint of a paper, accepted for publication on ApJ,
that is also discussing issues related to the interpretation of AIA
observations:

Dear All,
We were informed that "your manuscript, "Prominence-cavity regions
observed using SWAP 174A filtergrams and simultaneous eclipse flash
spectra", by Bazin, C. Koutchmy, S. and Tavabi, E. has been accepted for
publication in Solar Physics."
A preprint is available at:
http://arxiv.org/abs/1207.1857
Note it is the 1st time that prominences and the so-called cavity often
seen above eclipse prominences are analyzed using a high spectral
resolution near the HeI and the HeII lines simultaneously with high S/N
ratio SWAP filtergrams at 174A and with EIT filtergrams, shedding some
light on the prominence-corona interacting region physics.
Please find after an abstract of the paper.
Feel free to contact the authors in case some additional material is
needed.
Enjoy!
Best,
Serge
-------------------------------------------------------------
At the occasion of the last solar total eclipse of 11th July, 2010, we
studied SWAP filtergrams (from the PROBA2 mission) taken at 17.4 nm in
the Fe IX/X lines with simultaneous slitless flash spectra in the
spectral region of 470 nm. These eclipse flash spectra showed many faint
low excitation emission lines with He I 471.3 nm and He II 468.6 nm
Paschen {\alpha} chromospheric lines, and correspond to off-limb
prominences regions observed with space-borne imagers. We aligned and
stacked 80 individual spectra to study some modulations intensities
along the continuum between the monochromatic images of the prominences
without parasitic scattered light. We observed intensity depressions
around the continuum between prominences in both eclipse and SWAP
images. The prominence cavities are associated with a depression of the
plasma density, produced in the interface regions between the corona and
the prominences. Photometric measurements are shown at different scales
and different narrow spectral intervals, for both the prominences and
the coronal background.
