Spectral signatures of dynamic plasmas  Many space missions over the past 30 yrs  A very dynamic Sun SoHO/EIT Hinode/SOT

Most data interpreted using the `coronal approximation’. i.e. Ionization equilibrium assumed, stage-to-stage ionization assumed.. How good is this??? Three examples: (i)Electron density dependent ionization (ii) Transient ionization in the early stages of a solar flare (iii) Non-thermal distributions

. Consider two resonance lines, N V from Be-like ion O V from Li-like ion have over-lapping formation temperatures Should give the same info???? SKYLAB data from mid 70’s show O V & N V have a different response, O V QS  AR  3—4 N V QS  AR  8—10 WHY?

.

. Resolved case.. Metastable included

N V intensity increases while O V decreases as Ne increases At N e =10 11 cm -3, N V 1238 > 60%.. O V < factor of ~2, thus the response in ARs differ by a factor of ~3

.. O V 629/N V 1238 line core ratio At N e = cm -3, O V 629 is reduced by almost a factor of two while N V 1238 is increased by almost a factor of two, giving a factor of ~ 3 difference.. would transient ionization make a difference??

. High UV line data from SMM/UVSP show a high correlation with hard X-ray bursts (>25 keV). WHY?

.

. correlation of O V 1371 & HXR shows that O V lacks the HXR by 0.3 to 0.7s and is flare dependent

. Converting to the Line Contribution Function, we have a factor of 3 enhancement at cm -3 after only 0.1s  Response time is prop. to N e, therefore if N e is smaller, the response time is longer  Can explain the near simul. UV/HXR response  Need to investigate the possibility of a non- Gaussian Future work: short duration EE seen in TR (10 5 K) lines but not in Mg X  not important for coronal heating.. BUT we see them Fe XII lines.. WHY.. Transient ionization

. Non-thermal recombination HXR flare date.. Cold thick target (bremsstrahlung) model.. Problem  requires a large # of electrons Recent work suggests nonthermal electrons by recombination is very important  reduced the # of electrons by ~10.. Problem  they used Kramers approx. Want to use ADAS to look at this problem using better data.. Also, what if we changed from an electron to a proton beam???
