a) Logarithmically-scaled radiance image. Isocontours of the negative
polarity of the longitudinal magnetic flux at (-10, -25 and -40) G are
shown with black solid lines (no positive flux above 10 G is present in
the displayed area).
Locations where non-Gaussian line profiles were found are marked with
a black +. The dashed dark-grey (red) line indicates the projection
(on the plane perpendicular to the LOS) of a semi-circular loop with a
diameter of 13''. The loop is inclined by 18![]() ![]() |

Figure 5:
In the top panel the line radiance, L, along the loop (following the
dotted line in Fig. 4a) is shown. The distance along the loop is
reckoned from the southern extreme of the loop. In the bottom panel we show the
speeds obtained by the moment analysis ( + symbols) together with the
measurements obtained by the multi-Gaussian fitting (triangles).
Negative values indicate blueshifts (upflows). For the sake of clarity, the two
sets of measurements are slightly shifted with respect to each other in abscissa.
A single Gaussian fit (square) and the first moment (asterisk) of the line
profile at the loop top are also shown. The solid line indicate the LOS
component for a 130

The locations where non-Gaussian line profiles were found are marked with a black +. On the right panel the line profile corresponding to one of the marked pixels is shown (solid line) together with the average profile over the whole raster (dotted line). |
