Reconstruction of the coronal electron density at heights from 1.5 to 4 Rsun
Abstract
We present a reconstruction of the electron density structure in the solar corona from 1.5 to 4 Rsun. The reconstruction is performed by the regularized tomography inversion method and based on the STEREO COR1 pB-images. The reconstruction is made for the period of relatively quite Sun. The reconstructed density structure of the equatorial streamer belt in a most of the reconstructed domain is consistent with the variation of the current sheet derived from a potential magnetic field model. However, there are also regions where this correlation is less clear.
