A Systematic Approach to the Reconstruction of Saturated SDO/AIA Images
  EUV images of solar flares provided by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO/AIA) are often affected by saturation effects in their core, physically most interesting region. We introduce an image reconstruction procedure that allows recovering information in the primary saturation domain using the secondary images produced by the diffraction fringes as input data. Such a procedure is based on standard image-processing tools like correlation, convolution, and back-projection. Its effectiveness is tested in the case of SDO/AIA observations of the July 8 2013 flaring event.
