Weekly Notes from the Yohkoh Soft X-Ray Telescope

(Week 28, 1999)

Instrument Status

See the weekly operations report for details.

In the display above (click to enlarge), the colored lines show the times of SXT images that currently are on-line at ISAS. The purple lines are flare mode. The gaps will be considerably reduced when the NASA telemetry arrives and gets reformatted.

For a summary index listing of the weekly science reports, click here. Generally, these notes contain current research, or ideas related to current research in solar physics, as revealed by Yohkoh. They are done in "real time" and so they may contain (a) jargon, (b) blunders, or (c) trivialities. Of course they are not screened by referees! We are always happy when somebody writes a paper stimulated by one of these nuggets, and it happens frequently. The SXT Chief Observers (most of the authors) do not have any proprietary rights to the data or ideas presented.


Science Nugget: Transequatorial loops without a home

Introduction

This week's nugget continues to beat a dead horse evolving from several previous nuggets regarding transequatorial N-S coronal loops.

The MDI data from that epoch:
