✦ Synopsis

OSO-IV observations of the equatorial limb brightening of XUV resonance lines of Nv, O w, Ne vii, Mg x and Si xii are interpreted with a modified version of a coronal model developed by Dupree and Goldberg (1967). Good agreement is obtained between the observed limb brightening and that predicted by the model. The sensitivity of the predicted limb-brightening curves to changes in parameters describing the model is discussed. Coronal abundances for N, O, Ne, Mg, and Si are obtained.

Photoelectric observations of the light intensity from the solar crescent before and after totality were made during the eclipses of 7 March, 1970 and 26 February, 1979. Effective wavelengths were determined by interference filters of 20 nm bandwidth. To obtain the limb darkening function, the resul

Previous models of microwave limb brightening have omitted the alignment of spicules along supergranule boundaries, have neglected the high temperature sheath around spicules, and have assumed an interspicular medium which was averaged over chromospheric network and non-network regions.

A comparison of limb brightening measurements with theoretical limb brightening curves calculated for simple atmospheric models indicates that a significant fraction of the EUV emission from lines formed in the transition layer comes from spicules. We find that spicules contribute about 20% of the t
