X-ray observations of limb flare loops and post-flare coronal arch

Postflare arc observations have been obtained following a May 2, 1985 eruptive flare that was detected in X-ray lines above the western solar limb, constituting a rare opportunity for the isolation of pure spectra of the arch without the disturbing effect of X-ray emission from lower and more intens...

Summary:Postflare arc observations have been obtained following a May 2, 1985 eruptive flare that was detected in X-ray lines above the western solar limb, constituting a rare opportunity for the isolation of pure spectra of the arch without the disturbing effect of X-ray emission from lower and more intense coronal regions. It remains difficult to decide which portion of the observed shift is due to real motion and which is due to cooling, which is faster at lower altitudes.
