We present a brief description of new complex of space telescopes and spectrographs, TESIS, which will be placed aboard the CORONAS-PHOTON satellite. The complex is intended for high-resolution imaging observation of full Sun in the coronal spectral lines and in the spectral lines of the solar transition region. TESIS will be launched at the end of 2007 – early of 2008. About 25 % of the daily TESIS images will be free for use and for downloading from the TESIS data center that is planned to open 2 months before the TESIS launching at http://www.tesis.lebedev.ru

Using multi-spectral data, we estimate plasma parameters in the post-eruptive arcade observed on October 22, 2001 at 100 Mm above the limb: the temperature is 6 MK and the plasma density is $(5-9) \cdot 10^9$ cm$^{-3}$. We state a problem of the long-term equilibrium of the hot top of the arcade high in the corona: either the magnetic field surrounding the arcade well exceeds that one extrapolated in the potential approximation, or $\beta > 1$ both inside and outside the arcade. A downflow observed in soft X-rays can contribute to the equilibrium.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html

A multi-channel SPIRIT telescope/spectroheliograph aboard the CORONAS-F satellite operating in soft X-ray and EUV ranges ($T \sim $0.05–15 MK) is an effective instrument for complex studies of CME-associated phenomena such as eruptive filaments, dimmings, coronal waves, posteruptive arcades, etc. In particular, SRIRIT observations of high-temperature (T = 5–15 MK) plasma structures in the MgXII 8.42 Å line show specific pre-CME sigmoid magnetic field configurations. Eruptions of filaments (prominences) and dimmings in a CME process are seen with a high contrast in the coronal 175 Å band (FeIX–XI) and the transition-region 304 Å (HeII) images. Our results are illustrated by several powerful eruptive events of the current solar cycle. We compare SPIRIT data with observations at other spaceborne and ground-based instruments (SOHO/EIT, Yohkoh/SXT, and H$\alpha$ images, etc.)To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
