Scientific paper

The solar transition region, an ideal testing ground for theories of coronal heating and dynamics, is studied. Strong diagnostic lines formed at transition region temperatures (200,000 to 2,000,000K) are found at VUV wavelengths that are observable with relatively straightforward optical techniques. The transition region is highly dynamic; nonthermal velocities peak at 100,000 K and high velocity explosive events, indicators of magnetic reconnection, are commonly found throughout the quiet and active Sun. The fine scale density and velocity structures indicate that important information will be found at spatial scales below 1 inch.
