. March 29, 1998 . Fig. 1. An example of the EUV chain revealed by the modified SOHO/EIT images. The EUV (195 A) chain of March 29, 1998 going from the north-east limb (point 1) to the near-west-limb point 2 with a possible turning to the north direction. Perhaps this chain is crossed in the central region of the disk by two weaker chains outgoing from the east-limb point 3. Back to the page of the SOHO/EIT and Yohkoh/SXT chains .

... We demonstrate through numerical simulations that model parameters estimated with our technique are essentially bias-free, even when the average number of counts per bin is 1. ... The IW technique avoids such biases by estimating through successive iterations, where for each iteration, j, , and the best-fit parameters are determined by minimization of . ... In our sample, we find that the minimum values and best-fit parameters converge after about 6 iterations. ...
