Scientific paper

Recent observations with the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) have shown that many apparently cool (Te~1-1.5 MK) active region loops are much brighter and have flatter temperature profiles than static loop models predict. Observations also indicate that these loops can persist much longer than a characteristic cooling time. Using time-dependent hydrodynamic simulations, we explore the possibility that these active region loops are actually a collection of small-scale filaments that have been impulsively heated and are cooling through the TRACE 171 Å (Fe IX/X) and 195 Å (Fe XII) bandpasses. We find that an ensemble of independently heated filaments can be significantly brighter than a static uniformly heated loop and would have a flat filter ratio temperature when observed with TRACE.
