The O VI emission from the sun
Abstract
The ionization equilibrium of oxygen is calculated for various temperatures. A peculiarity in the dielectronic recombination leads to a considerable fraction of OVI in the corona. Thus, the OVI lines may be emitted from the corona rather than the transition region.
