AB: The X-ray Telescope (XRT) shows stunning images of solar corona. The x-ray luminosity that comes from the sun is linearly dependant on the magnetic flux of this sun. In a recent paper by Schwadron, Mc Comas, and DeForest (2006), the relationship between x-ray luminosity, magnetic flux and the power available for solar wind acceleration was explored. Using Hinode XRT data from AR 10960, quiet sun, and full disk observations, along with complimentary magnetic field data, we examine the x-ray luminosity with respect to the magnetic field flux. These results are compared with the predicted power of the solar wind and measurements taken at the ACE spacecraft at 1AU for the different regions of the solar surface.
