UV and EUV Spectroscopy of the Upper Solar Atmosphere
Abstract
The UV and EUV wavelength regions are rich in emission lines from the transition region and the corona. Spectroscopic diagnostic techniques have been used extensively to determine the physical conditions in the solar atmosphere for such diverse phenomena as coronal holes, active regions surges, flares. The author reviews diagnostic techniques which have been used in the analyses of space observations (eg Skylab, SMM, HRTS, CHASE) and looks to future projects such as the CDS and SUMER instruments on SOHO which cover the UV and EUV wavelength regions and will provide a wealth of observations with excellent spatial, spectral and temporal resolution.
