AB: The source of coronal heating remains one of the most significant unknowns in solar physics. In this poster, we present analysis of two types of active region structures - relatively long loops that are bright in EUV images and short, hot loops that are bright in X-ray images. We compare the temporal evolution of these loops in multiple filters to the evolution derived from hydrodynamic simulations with various heating function to determine the most likely heating function for each structure.
