intensity decrease of TR and intensity decrease of TR and coronal EUV lines in an EUV coronal EUV lines in an EUV
filament is caused by:filament is caused by:• Absorption by resonance hydrogen & helium
continua in a cool filament plasma (coronal and TR lines with wavelengths lower than
912 Å)• volume blocking ─ volume of an EUV filament
is not occupied by hot coronal plasma unlike surrounding corona therefore EUV coronal lines are not emitted from this volume

Why are EUV-filaments more extended than Why are EUV-filaments more extended than their Htheir H counterparts ? counterparts ?Because opacity in their extensions in EUV is large enough to be observed as dark structures but in H is opacity too low.

Future plans
• compute bigger and more fine grids of models• try to model also profiles from Hfilament ─ we know only top height of Hfilament therefore its geometrical thickness cannot be estimated
•use Levenberg-Marquart method for 2 minimi- zation ─ 2 assumptions: computer cluster and need to rewrite code for parallelization
•More realistic models with more fine structure ─ fibers approximated by multiple 1D slabs
