Figure 2

An expanded image of the solar corona at 2 MK constructed from Fe XIII 202.044 Å spectral line intensities. This line was used to determine Doppler velocities, and its ratio with Fe XIII 203.83 Å was used to compute electron densities. It is formed close in temperature to the Si X 258.37 Å/S X 264.22 Å ratio used to measure elemental abundances.
