The purpose of this paper is to report on some intensity measurements of the Fexm lines at 10 747 ~ and 10 798 ~ made during the total eclipse of 12 November, 1966. Infrared spectra were taken of the solar corona at a dispersion of 90 A~ per mm, using an RCA image converter and spectrograph aboard t
A line to continuum ratio of the green line equal to 2.1 A was measured above the West limb at the height p = 1.75 solar radii during the eclipse. The lower limit to the abundance of iron relative to hydrogen obtained from these measurements is 4 โข 10 -5.
A series of spectrograms of the inner solar corona were obtained at the total solar eclipse of 30 May 1965 using a fast spectrograph with a circular slit that recorded the spectrum from 23000 to 29000 at all position angles around the limb simultaneously. In this paper absolute intensity is given as
The solar eclipse of 12 November 1966 was used to study the coronal emission near the limbs in selected emission lines between 16 and 40 A. Eight fixed-wavelength, curved crystal spectrometers were carried in each of 3 rocket launches to an altitude of 290 km and monitored the flux in each of eight
