Multimodal differential emission measure in the solar corona

The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) telescope on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory provides coronal extreme ultraviolet imaging over a broader temperature sensitivity range than the previous generations of instruments (Extreme Ultraviolet Imager; EUVI, EIT, and TRACE). Differential emission me...
