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 (22:13 UTC on November 13, 2012).  Click on the images to see higher resolution versions.

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.
