Scientific paper

A comparison is made of the morphological structure and temporal behavior of the emission from coronal bright points in a coronal hole and a quiet region, using data from the Harvard EUV experiment on Skylab. It is found that, in both regions, coronal bright points are located at network boundaries and cover a range of sizes from 10 to 40 in in linear extent. In a given bright pint, the peaks of emission in the six different lines, measured simultaneously through the same instrument slit, are not always cospatial, implying that bright points consist of a complex of small-scale loops at different temperatures. The intensity of bright points in both regions is also characterized by a significant temporal variability in all the wavelengths measured. This variability exhibits no regular periodicity. Yet the ratio of the varying (ac) to the constant (dc) components of the emission, in all the bright points studied, has a local maximum at 1-2 x 10 to the 5th k which coincides with the peak of the radiative loss function, and another local maximum at Mg x (1.4 x 10 to the 6th K). It is found that coronal bright points in a coronal hole or a quiet region are indistinguishable structures, and, therefore, conclude that they are independent of the overlying background corona.
