Long Quiet Sun Loops
|
Two full disk images taken one solar rotation apart. In the center
of the left hand image are NOAA active regions 10931 and 10932. A
rotation later the active regions have disappeared, but their effect
is still noticeable in the long quiet sun loops. Yohkoh experts
can comment on whether this was commonly seen by SXT. Those familiar
with the ancient literature have pointed out that a similar feature
was seen in Skylab, though not this clearly (1982; ApJ 259, 359-365).
