Abstract

In this paper some soft X-ray loops observed by Yohkoh/SXT and extrapolated magnetic fields from the vector magnetogram data observed at the Mitaka Flare Telescope are compared and analyzed. The computed field lines generally agree with Yohkoh/SXT coronal loops. Typical examples of the magnetic field intensities, loop widths, and loop heights along field lines are presented.
