✦ Synopsis
In order to study the electron density at the scale of the most encountered structures in coronal active regions a new multichannel coronagraph associated with a photoelectric spectrograph is now used at the Pic-du-Midi Observatory. In its quasi-routine mode this instrument, which is described in this paper, works with a 30" field aperture in a parallel manner with a K-polarimeter. On each observed region it obtains maps of intensities of the 223388, 10747, and 10798 A emission lines due to Fexiii ion. Each measurement point is associated with a quasi-simultaneous image of the emission corona structures viewed in the light of the 25303 ~. line of Fe • Three examples of observations are given and the capabilities are discussed. Measuring electron density in coronal active regions. II A multichannel photoelectric coronagraph with a photo-electric spectrograph and a reflex monitor at 25303 4. * LA du CNRS No. 040285.

The Mauna Loa K-corona data were examined to determine the density in regions of type III activity which were observed during March and April, 1971, at Clark Lake Radio Observatory. It is found that these regions avoided the centres of dense structures in the corona. Both the K-corona data and the r
