Forward Modeling of Active Region Coronal Emissions: II. Implications for Coronal Heating

In Paper I, we introduced and tested a method for predicting solar active region coronal emissions using magnetic field measurements and a chosen heating relationship. Here, we apply this forward-modeling technique to 10 active regions observed with the Mees Solar Observatory Imaging Vector Magnetograph and the Yohkoh Soft X-ray Telescope. We produce synthetic images of each region using four parameterized heating relationships depending on magnetic field 1,Space Sciences Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720-7450 2The Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, Sagamihara 229, Japan
