Coronal EUV and X-Ray Emission for the July 11, 2010 Total Solar Eclipse

Coronal Emission

We compute emission of radiation from the corona by integrating the emission kernels for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray radiation along a chosen line of sight. This intergation requires knowledge of the plasma density and temperature in the corona, which we predict using our model. The images below show the predicted coronal emission at the time of greatest eclipse (19:33 UT on July 11, 2010). Click on the images to see higher resolution versions.

This is the prediction of emission corresponding to the preliminary prediction posted on July 5, 2010. For the prediction of emission corresponding to the final prediction of July 8, 2010, please go here.

If your movie player can continuously loop a movie while playing it, set this option to "on" for the best effect.

CAUTION: Some of the movies are very large and are only appropriate for high-speed internet connections. Please pay attention to the stated sizes of the movies.
