Photometry and polarimetry of the solar corona of 30 June 1973
Abstract
The method of reduction, its strengths and weaknesses, and suggestions for improvements are discussed. A comparison of the coronal camera observations was made with other ground-based observations. Generally excellent agreement in white light photometry and polarimetry of the North Polar coronal region was most encouraging, while the discrepancies in other regions should provide insights into instrumental limitations or directions for future refinements.
