A photographic Fabry-Perot interferometer was used to measure the breadth and wavelength of the Fexlv spectral line at 5303 β’ in the solar corona, during the eclipse of 7 March, 1970, in Mexico. The observations were consistent with a possible large-scale vortex structure in a bright streamer, in wh

β¦ Synopsis
The profiles of the Fe XlV, 25303, and Fe x, 26374, emission lines of the solar corona have been observed at different positions using a photoelectric scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer. These profiles were obtained during the eclipse of 7th March 1970, in Mexico and at the Pic-du-Midi coronagraph in October, 1970. The half-widths of these profiles were determined for both the coronal lines and temperatures were derived from these widths. No systematic temperature variation was discovered, however there was some suggestion of the existence of a fluctuation with time in the width of the emission lines.

The effects of scattering and refraction on radio waves in the solar corona are considered for several different coronal models. By considering a source near the plasma level in a spherically symmetric corona and in a streamer enhancement superimposed on a spherically symmetric corona we obtain resu
The radio emissions caused by electron streams in a non-isothermal plasma are studied quantitatively. It is proposed that conversion of the stream-excited plasma waves into electromagnetic waves by scattering on the thermal fluctuations at nonisothermal sonic oscillation frequency is the origin of t
