Fe XI and Fe XIV animation

This animation of Fe XI image and Fe XIV image shows a significant difference between the distribution of these ions in the solar corona. Whereas Fe XIV ions visualize predominantly the solar magnetic field lines which are closed in the nearest vicinity of the Sun, Fe XI conversely visualizes mainly the magnetic field lines which are opened to interplanetary space and they are closed somewhere very far from the Sun.
