The authors study active region loops, observed on Lα high resolution filtergrams obtained with a rocket borne instrument. Some formulae or diagrams are given for the computations of Lα and Hα intensities emitted by homogeneous loop models. The dimensions and emitted intensities of the observed loops being known, the authors determine the variations of temperature, pressure and density inside these objects under the assumption of constant temperature and hydrostatic equilibrium. The influence of temperature gradient and mass flow on the results is discussed, and an alternative model with radial temperature increase is envisaged. The case of an isolated loop with a larger diameter is also discussed.
