Wide Line Thermal 6000 K
Wide Line • Positronium formed via charge exchange in flight, ~6000K • Thermally broadened in a hot region with temperature of ~400000 K

Different precipitation regions Schrijver 2006
Where are they from? • In flight? • ? • Quiet Sun? • Not in equilibrium • Flare loop? • Different precipitation regions, the positrons from \beta+ decay can not go into the flare loop. • Bulk motion? • The other nuclear de-excitation lines were not broaden
