Ratios of the intensities of transition region to coronal lines measured on the prominence and in the corona.

Line H1 H2
I(P2)/I(C1) I(P4)/I(C5) I(P7)/I(C6) I(P9)/I(C10)

Increase of TR emission
Fe viii 185.21 1.07 2.34 1.34 2.33
Fe viii 186.60 1.09 2.34 1.21 2.37
Si vii 275.35 1.07 2.19 1.24 2.67

Decrease of coronal emission
Fe xii 195.12 (r) 0.63 0.88 0.76 0.93
XRT (rb) 0.74 0.94 0.85 1.00

τ195 (α = 0.5) 0.33 0.14 0.22 0.15
τ195 (α = 0.3) 0.62 0.24 0.39 0.27

Notes. rb is the ratio of coronal emission at a position in the prominence to a position outside in XRT data. The optical thickness at 195 Å is derived by assuming a spherically symmetric corona with the prominence lying in the plane of the sky (α = 0.5) and for an asymmetric corona where the prominence lies behind the plane of the sky (α = 0.3).
