WeÕre talking about thermal, collisional/coronal, equilibrium, optically thin plasmas hereÉprobably
Diagnostics and Physical Properties
Temperatures and overall emission
levels: DEMs
Densities: line ratiosÉbut also source
location via f/i
Abundances: line ratios and
line-to-continuum ratios
Local absorption: globally and within
individual lines
Signatures of photoionization:
fluorescence
Kinematics: line broadening and profile shapes
