Over two hundred spectral line intensities between 1 and 60 Å from ions in the solar corona have been computed for electron temperatures ranging between 105 and 109 K (Mewe, 1972a). Also the continuum (ff+fb) radiation intensity has been computed. The calculations were set up to interprete soft X-ray measurements aboard the ESRO 2B satellite (IRIS): Wavelength bands 44–55 Å (experiment of Space Research Laboratory, Utrecht) and 1–3, 3–9, 6–18 Å(expt. of University College, London) (Brinkman and Shaw, 1972).
