A New Method to Constrain the Iron Abundance from Cooling Delays in Coronal Loops
A New Method to Constrain the Iron Abundance from Cooling Delays in Coronal Loops
Recent observations with the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer reveal that the time delay between the appearance of a cooling loop in different EUV temperature filters is proportional to the loop length, Δt12 ∝ L. We model this cooling delay in terms of radiative loss and confirm this linear relationship …
