Scientific paper

Using NASA facilities in space (OSO-7) and on the ground (Goddard multi-channel spectrophotometer at Sacramento Peak, New Mexico) an active region has been mapped. By combining these ultraviolet, X-ray, and visible data, a physical picture of this structured region was constructed from the photosphere to the corona, corresponding to temperature regimes from 4500 K to 4,000,000 K. The morphology of the active region was studied by comparing grey-shaded images in which fine details stand out more clearly than in the contour plots. One result of the study is that gross similarities persist from the low photosphere up to high in the transition region, while some changes occur in the corona.
