View of the synthesized coronal loop in AIA 171 Å seen in Fig. 1 when horizontally integrating through the box along a line-of-sight perpendicular to the loop plane. The AIA 171 Å point spread function (PSF) was applied and shows the image with the same pixel size as AIA (0.6 arcsec corresponding to 435 km on the Sun). As in observations, a background subtraction was applied to enhance the contrast.
