Thermal Map from XRT
Thermal map (bright is hot, dark is cool) of the active region observed with Hinode/XRT on 12 November 2006 obtained with a combination of five XRT filters. This combination is able both to optimize the quality of the signal and to yield diagnostics of the coronal thermal structure. The active region appears highly thermally structured. Very thin structures are visible around the center of the active region and some on larger scale outwards. This kind of analysis shows the high capabilities of the XRT to obtain fine diagnostics of the coronal thermal structure.


Keywords: Temperature Structure
Filters: Several
