Probing the Fundamental Physics of the Solar Corona with Lunar Solar Occultation Observations

Original language description

Imaging and spectroscopy of the solar corona, coupled with polarimetry, are the only tools available at present to capture signatures of physical rocesses responsible for coronal heating and solar wind acceleration within the first few solar radii abovethe solar limb. With the recent advent of mproved detector technology and image processing techniques, broad-band white light and narrow-band multi-wavelength observations of coronal forbidden lines, made during total solar eclipses, have started to yield new views about the thermodynamic and magnetic properties of coronal tructures. This paper outlines these unique capabilities, which until present, have been feasible primarily with observations during natural total solar clipses. This work also drawsattention to the exciting possibility of greatly increasing the frequency and duration of solar eclipse observations with Moon orbiting observatories utilizing lunar limb occultation of the solar disk for coronal measurements.
