Comparing the large-scale coronal electron density distribution of the 1991 and 1994 solar eclipses.
Abstract
The observational determination of the electron density and velocity distributions in the solar corona is a basis to any physical modelling. In this context, the author's program, started in 1973, consists in deriving the large-scale electron density distribution from photographic observations of the polarized white-light corona during total solar eclipses. Since 1991, this program makes use of CCD technologies. The authors present here results of their 2D descriptive model of the electron density distribution.
