  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 69))

Abstract

The white-light corona becomes visible during total solar eclipses. Outside eclipses it can be observed at 2–9 R ⊙ by balloon- or satellite-borne, externally occulted coronagraphs (OSO-7, Skylab). It consists of two components: the K-corona and the F-corona.
