Abstract
The positions of X-ray coronal transients outside of active regions observed during Skylab were superposed on Hα synoptic charts and coronal hole boundaries for seven solar rotations. We confirmed a detailed spatial association between the transients and neutral lines. We found that most of the transients were related to large-scale changes in coronal hole area and tended to occur on the borders of evolving equatorial holes.
