Abstract:
IRIS provides unprecedented high resolution observations of the solar chromosphere and transition region. Joint with Hinode XRT and EIS, and SDO/AIA, these observations cover from the upper photosphere to the corona and provide tight constraints on the mechanisms of energy transport and heating of the plasma to coronal temperatures. We present new IRIS and Hinode coronal studies of the corona in non-flaring conditions, and compare the spectral line properties of FeXII emission observed with EIS and IRIS in active region moss. We will discuss the implications for the heating of hot coronal loops in the core of active regions.
