Solar Cycle Changes of Coronal Streamer Properties

We have measured UV spectroscopic parameters, as a function of height for more than 30 coronal streamers in order to identify similarities between streamers at different phases of the solar cycle. For the period from 1996-2002, we provide line intensities, line widths, and line ratios for the O VI 1032/1037 doublet and intensities and line widths for the H I Ly-alpha line for these streamers. From such measurements we can derive plasma parameters (densities, temperatures, and outflow velocities) for O⁵⁺ and protons as a function of heliocentric height (1.5 > r/R_o > 5) in the streamers. This information is useful for setting empirical constraints on coronal heating and solar wind acceleration in streamers.
