Abstract

The fine structures of the corona are analyzed using SXR and W-L eclipse pictures. The measurement of the finest features observed at the CFHT on July 11, 1991 is discussed. We call the attention to the 3-D aspect of the magnetic structure which can be apprehended and analysed assuming the plasma is concentrated in thin curved sheets observed on eclipse W-L pictures. More geometrical parameters can be deduced from the stereo-view based on the hypothesis of a rigid rotation. A preliminary 2.5-D model calculation is put forward to explain the active region coronal rays. It is based on the assumption of ad hoc chromospheric current distribution and analytic calculations.
