Scientific paper

Theoretical electron-temperature-sensitive Mg IX emission line ratios are presented for R1 = I(443.96 A)/I(368.06 A), R2 = I(439.17 A)/I(368.06 A), R3 = I(443.37 A)/I(368.06 A), R4 = I(441.22 A)/I(368.06 A), and R5 = I(448.28 A)/I(368.06 A). A comparison of these with observational data for a solar active region, obtained during a rocket flight by the Solar EUV Rocket Telescope and Spectrograph (SERTS), reveals excellent agreement between theory and observation for R1 through R4, with discrepancies that average only 9%. This provides experimental support for the accuracy of the atomic data adopted in the line ratio calculations, and also resolves discrepancies found previously when the theoretical results were compared with solar data from the S082A instrument on board Skylab. However in the case of R5, the theoretical and observed ratios differ by almost a factor of 2. This may be due to the measured intensity of the 448.28 A line being seriously affected by instrumental effects, as it lies very close to the long wavelength edge of the SERTS spectral coverage (235.46-448.76 A).
