โฆ Synopsis
Periodic Doppler width fluctuations have been observed in Fe xIv spectra above an active region. The oscillations have a period of 6.1 โข 0.6 min and a peak-to-peak amplitude of 0.07 + 0.006/~. The amplitude of the oscillation increases with height above the limb, and is enhanced at specific heights where we marginally detect line center intensity oscillations. The intensity fluctuations have a period of 6.1 rain, an amplitude of 2.0 โข 1.4%, and are 180 ~ out of phase with the width oscillations. A comparison region in the quiet corona showed no evidence of oscillatory phenomena.

The coronal structure overlying, and presumably associated with, an isolated active region, McMath 12686, is identified during its west limb passage 15-17 January 1974. The region had a 'flaring site' on its border close to a plage filament and exhibited various forms of activity, including type III
In order to establish some regularities or variations in the distribution of widths and intensities of the coronal line profiles A5303 and A6374 depending upon the solar activity, a statistical analysis was made for more than 3000 profiles (the data covering the period 1966-1972). The following res
The temperature and density structure of a 'typical' coronal active region is deduced from X-ray observations of several active regions. Observations of the limb transits of three regions from OSO-5 indicate that the X-ray emission originates between 2 x 104 km and 1.5 โข 105 km. An emission measure-
