Menagerie of loops: The images shown were obtained from the
Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) on the Yohkoh solar research spacecraft
from October 3, 1991 to January 25, 1992. This particular selection
is described in the article "The Yohkoh Mission for High-Energy
Solar Physics", by L. Acton, et. al., Science vol. 258 ,
23 Oct. 1992 pp. 618-625. The images here were selected to exemplify
a variety of solar coronal feres seen in soft x-rays.
A. Large Helmet type structure B. Arcade of x-ray loops seen end-on
C. Dynamic eruptive which generate a velocity of about 30km/sec
D. One of many small symmetrical flaring loops seen by
SXT.
