SummaryWe report observational studies of solar active regions n°6150 and n°6850 during cycle 22. Observations were carried out with a tunable monochromatic birefringent filter coupled with a line-shifter and a Stokesmeter as well as with a spectro-magnetograph, both at Meudon Observatory. AR n°6150 is typical of emerging flux regions, while AR n° 6850, with a complex preceding δ-spot, exhibits characteristic configurations of the transverse magnetic field for flaring activity: shear along the neutral line, and curvature coupled with anomalous Evershed mass motions.

We study the relationship between EUV spectral line intensities and the photospheric magnetic field in solar active regions, using magnetograms from SOHO-MDI and EUV spectra of the Fe XVI 360.8 Â line (2 × 106 K) and the O V 629.7 A line (220,000 K) from the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer on SOHO, recorded for several active regions. We overlay and compare spatial patterns of the O V emission and the magnetic flux concentrations, with a 4″ x 4″ spatial resolution, and search for a relationship between the local O V line intensity and the photospheric magnetic flux density in each active region. While this dependence exhibits a certain amount of scatter, it can be represented by a power law fit. The average power index from all regions is 0.7 ± 0.2. Applying static loop models, we derive the dependence of the heating rate on the magnetic flux density, Eh ∝ B0.8, and compare it to the dependence predicted by the coronal heating models.
