Compute coronal density of Capella using hetg data of Ne IX and known contaminant lines from Fe Basic Steps: 1. Find Chandra HETG observation of Capella in archive. 2. Reprocess the data to generate grating coordinates and extract high-res spectrum 3. Identify the strong lines. Specifically, ID the OVII and O VIII lines, the Ne X line, and the Ne IX complex. 4. Also identify the strong Fe lines given in Ness et al. 5. Compute the temperature from the O VIII to O VII line ratios Advanced Topics: 1. Extract fluxes for Ne IX 2. Compute density estimate (this will require knowledge of the DEM -- use the one derived in the paper) Software: CIAO for data reduction PINTofALE/ISIS/profit for line flux measurement
