Hi Giulio,
Maria Madjarska says the same thing. And it makes me happy! It only strengthens the case that spicules do not provide the corona with much, if any, of its hot plasma. Keep pushing this result!!
Thanks, Jim

Jim,
interesting paper, but I still have not seen convincing evidence that material at chromospheric temperatures travelling upwards gets heated to coronal temperatures. It is clear that all the SDO AIA bands have significant contributions from lines formed below 1 MK (2011,A&A,535, A46) as we discussed at the last loop meeting. Some residual emission above 1 MK might be present but there are a lot of uncertainties..
cheers
