The use of lightcurves shows the general cooling and heating associated with the active region as the region becomes devoid of the hot plasma that eventually is ejected outwards into the corona.
Active regions appear in similar places in the images but their details vary.
The results complimenting one another, producing a better over-all picture of the Sun, revealing the subtleties of the Sun's magnetohydrodynamics. A brief nugget showing how the sustained activity of this region raised the background levels of soft X-ray. The impulsive flares associated with the region were well observed by the SXT and full Sun movies over this period are available to view. The flares show an impulsive component superimposed upon a slow decay. The LDE is shown to leave behind a characteristic cusp structure.
