Are Nonthermal Velocities in Active Region Coronal Loops Anisotropic?

We have measured line widths in active region coronal loops in order to determine whether the nonthermal broadening is anisotropic with respect to the magnetic field direction. These nonthermal velocities are caused by unresolved fluid motions. Our analysis method combines spectroscopic data and a m...
