Abstract
Preliminary data reduction of the color index polarization wave experiment carried out in Brazil (Chapeco town) is described. Distributions of polarization degree (polarization images) in the range 1.1–1.6 R⊙ are obtained by an algorithm developed on the basis of the Stokes vector presentation and IDL software. The polarization image of the “quasi-white-light” corona (summary of the blue and red spectral region emissions) is analyzed. On the average, no fitt is found with the van de Hülst model for the inner corona at heliographic latitudes of ±45°. The polarization degree reaches a plateau at 1.2–1.35 R⊙.
