Fe XII 195 is a core line and is present in almost every EIS study. It has been noted, however, that there is a subtle contribution of Fe XII 195.18 to the wing of the observed line profile. This component is density senitive and can make an important contribution to the line in active regions. The intensity of this component is generally very small (<15% of the total), it does, however, alter the calculation of the line width and centroid. A two Gaussian fit can be performed on the observed line profile but it is necessary to constrain it. One scheme is to set the line widths of both components to be equal and to fix the difference between the two line centroids to be 0.06 Angstroms. This is not difficult to implement in MPFIT.

!A Comment on the Temperature of Formation for Fe VIII

It has been noted that Fe VIII and Si VII rasters look nearly identical [(Young et al. 2007)|http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2007PASJ...59S.857Y] but the temperature of formation for the two ions are seperated by about 0.2 dex. This image illustrates this by comparing Mg, Si, and Fe images in this temperature range. These data suggest that the Fe VIII and perhaps Fe IX are formed at higher temperatures than suggested by the ionization balance calculations of [Mazzotta et al. (1998)|http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1998A%26AS..133..403M].
