Interpretation of polarization measurements of coronal Fe XIII (10747 Å) emission.
Abstract
Measurements of the linear polarization of Fe XIII (10747 Å) coronal emission are discussed. Polarization maps appear to be consistent with the general form of the expected magnetic field distribution in the corona as projected in the plane of the sky. Well-defined, large-scale coronal structures are found to be mapped well by corresponding polarization measurements.
