Abstract

The SOHO Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer (UVCS/SOHO) has observed the extended solar corona between 1 and 10 R· for more than two years. We review spectroscopic and polarimetric measurements made in coronal holes, equatorial streamers, and coronal mass ejections, as well as selected non-solar targets. UVCS/SOHO has provided a great amount of empirical information about the physical processes that heat and accelerate the solar wind, and about detailed coronal structure and evolution.
