Abstract: We describe a Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo process using a Metropolis algorithm to derive Differential Emission Measures (DEMs) and element abundances from EUV line fluxes. This technique allows us to relax the smoothness constraint generally imposed on DEMs and also to determine confidence bounds on the computed values. We apply this method to solar spectral line data from SERTS (Solar EUV Rocket Telescope and Spectrograph).
