| Zusammenfassung |
| The SPIRIT telescope aboard the CORONAS-F satellite (in orbit from
26 July 2001 to 5 December 2005), observed the off-limb solar corona in the 175 Å
(Fe IX, X and XI lines) and 304 Å (He II and Si XI lines) bands.
In the coronagraphic mode the mirror was tilted to image the corona at the
distance of 1.1...5 Rsun from the solar center, the outer
occulter blocked the disk radiation and the detector sensitivity was
enhanced. This intermediate region between the fields of view of ordinary
extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) telescopes and most of the white-light (WL)
coronagraphs is responsible for forming the streamer belt, acceleration of
ejected matter and emergence of slow and fast solar wind. We present here
the results of continuous coronagraphic EUV observations of the solar corona
carried out during two weeks in June and December 2002. The images showed a
"diffuse" (unresolved) component of the corona seen in both bands, and
non-radial, ray-like structures seen only in the 175 Å band, which can be
associated with a streamer base. The correlations between latitudinal
distributions of the EUV brightness in the corona and at the limb were found
to be high in 304 Å at all distances and in 175 Å only below 1.5 Rsun.
The temporal correlation of the coronal brightness along the west
radial line, with the brightness at the underlying limb region was
significant in both bands, independent of the distance. On 2 February 2003
SPIRIT observed an expansion of a transient associated with a prominence eruption
seen only in the 304 Å band. The SPIRIT data have been compared
with the corresponding data of the SOHO LASCO, EIT and UVCS instruments. |
