Scientific paper

Observations of X-ray emitting loops derived from Skylab S-054 photographs, and combined with temperature and brightness estimates from Solrad data, are used to determine brightness decay times resulting from various coronal energy loss mechanisms. Conductive losses are found to be more rapid than radiative losses. Attention is given to the role of geometrical inhibition of conduction as a possible mechanism of brightness decay. Soft X-ray observations are consistent with the continuation of the 'evaporation' driven by thermal conduction late into the decay phase of the event.
