Abstract
The Ultraviolet Coronal Spectrometer on Spartan 201 obtained measurements of HI Ly α line profiles and O VI λ103.2/103.7 nm integrated intensities in a helmet streamer. Similar measurements were made on the solar disk to characterize the incident radiation which is the source for the resonantly scattered component of the lines. A description of the H I Ly α observations in the streamer will be presented. A more complete physical description of the observed coronal regions will become available after the analysis of additional data from coordinated observations made by visible coronagraphs and x-ray telescopes.
