The observations of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) emission lines of Feix through Fe XVI made by OSO-I have been applied to a study of the solar corona above active regions. Ultraviolet and radio emission are determined for several levels of activity classified according to the type of sunspot group associated with the active region. Both radio emission and line radiation from Fe XVI, the highest stage of ionization of Fe observed, are observed to increase rapidly with the onset of activity and are most intense over an E spot group early in the lifetime of the active region. As activity diminishes, radiation from Fe XV and Fe XIV becomes relatively more prominent. Preliminary X-ray data from OSO-III obtained during a flare are introduced. These indicate that radiation from the highest stage of iron thus far observed, Fe XXV, reaches a maximum first in an X-ray burst and that maxima in lower stages of ionization follow, with delays from 2 to 15 min.
