Scientific paper

We investigate changes in the properties of the coronal magnetic field in the context of different emission of coronal loops. Observations by the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE), the Hinode/X-ray Telescope (XRT), and the SOHO/Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI), the X-ray and EUV light curves as well as the photospheric magnetic flux of NOAA active region 10963 are utilized to compare the coronal and photospheric magnetic fields. A Magnetic Charge Topology (MCT) model is used to establish potential magnetic field connectivity of the surface magnetic flux distribution. A Minimum Current Corona (MCC) model is applied to determine the coronal currents and quantify the energy build-up. The results of the MCC analysis are compared to the evolution of the coronal loop brightness, comparing areas of steady emission, transient emission, and temporal patterns of emission which imply coronal cooling.
