[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: General information:

Principle Investigator for the WHITE-LIGHT CORONAGRAPH experiment was
Dr. R. Macqueen, U of Colorado, Boulder, CO

This experiment, located in the Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) on
SKYLAB, used an externally occulted coronagraph to monitor (between
4000 and 6000 A) the brightness, form, and polarization of the solar
corona at radial distances between 1.5 and 6.0 solar radii. ...
