The Sacramento Peak Observatory's 40 cm coronagraph was used with an emission line photometer to observe the distribution of A5303 Fe xIv brightness as a function of position angle, height above the limb, and time. These data were used to construct models of the Volume emissivity as a function of so

โฆ Synopsis
We have selected observations of quiet K corona in maximum activity phase (1970 and 1972) and we have computed the corresponding density models. The density is found to be two times smaller than in average maximum coronal models (Newkirk, 1967) and nearly equal to that of minimum coronas (Sa'ito, 1970). The research of quiet coronas between active periods has been extended to the three past solar cycles thanks to 25303/~ measurements: very low 25303 ,~ intensities, corresponding to very small densities, are found even in maximum activity phase. A short discussion about the values of average quiet coronal models is given.
