AB: There have been many recent studies that have modeled active regions as an ensemble of steadily heated loops. One limitation of these studies is that they required a series of assumptions, such as how the heating rate scales with the magnetic field strength, loop length, and filling factor. We have developed a new technique that allows us to infer the heating rate directly from the observations. Our method uses observations of density sensitive line ratios in the "moss" (or footpoints) of active regions cores to infer both the heating rate and the filling factor. In this talk we will present the application of our modeling technique to new observations from the EIS and XRT instruments on Hinode.
