Active region transient brightenings
This paper reports on a qualitative study on the
weakest flarelike brightenings in active region
that can be observed with current coronal imagers.
Specificallly, we investigate the correspondence of the
"active region transient brightenings"(ARTB) first observed
almost a decade ago with SXT with similar brightenings in the EUV
that are now observed by EIT and TRACE.
For this goal, exceptionally high cadence image sequences were acquired
of a small but rapidly evolving active region (NOAA 8218), simultaneously
by SXT, EIT, and TRACE. Within the timeframe of this coordinated campaign, we
detected 41 soft X-ray brightenings and 373 EUV brightenings.
We find that the strongest brightenings observed by EIT are indeed the EUV
counterparts of the ARTBs seen by SXT. Weaker brightenings seen by EIT
often do not have an X-ray counterpart. Among the brightenings detected with
SXT we discover a new subpopulation, consisting of events that brighten
in soft X-rays only, at a footpoint of a pre-existing SXT loop shortly after
an ARTB occurred at the other footpoint. The propagation speed of the
perturbation suggests an interpretation in terms of slow mode MHD waves
