Eclipse observations of Istanbul University observatory and Abastumani astrophysical observatory
Abstract
To find the solar coronal structural propertiesusingthe oportinity of total solar eclipse event, we have organized an expedition at two stations separated from each other about 400 km. Both stations were very close to the center line. We, both Istanbul University Observatory and Abastumani Astrophysical Observatorymembers, have performed total fourteen experiments. These are related to the following topics: white light corona, chromospheric structures, coronal polar plumes; solar diameter measurements and photoelectric polarimetric measurements. Some preliminary results about white light polarisation and polar plume observations are presented in these Proceedings. Other reductions are still proceeding.
