The S-056 X-ray data have been used to determine significant quantitative values for physical parameters defining the changing structure of a coronal hole. A new active region (McMath 12363) developed near a large coronal hole late on 1973 June 1. As the new bipolar region developed, a distinct decrease (channel) occurred in a nearby X-ray emission source. Quantitative values are given for the change in X-ray flux, average electron density, and temperature in the channel, and these variations are related to the corresponding photospheric and coronal magnetic fields in the region. The observations show that the decrease in X-ray flux resulted from a reduction in electron density rather than from cooling. The study suggests that changes in a coronal hole may be explained by the loss of material along weakened, less-confining magnetic field lines in the corona.
