Abstract : Fan loops (formed between 0.6 to 1 MK temperature range) are one of the most complex and longest-living features emanating from the edges of an active region. They play an integral role as conduits of mass and energy amongst the various layers of the solar atmosphere (from the photosphere to the upper corona). Hence, measuring the physical parameters at the points where these fan loops are rooted as well as along their length is important. Spectroscopic data from the EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) and the Interface Region Imaging Spectrometer (IRIS) have been used to study the morphology and dynamics of the plasma in these loops. Further we have incorporated AIA and HMI images in this work.
