Book Description
Photographs of the solar corona from a camera flown at an altitude of 40,000 feet were obtained on November 12, 1966. The absolute brightness, polarization and the direction of polarization of the solar corona between 3.5 and 13 solar radii were determined from these photographs. A significant polarized component was found in this region, the structure of which can be closely correlated with features in the inner corona. Comparisons are made in the July 20, 1963 and May 30, 1965 eclipses and evidence is given for changes in brightness of the coronal light between these eclipses. (Author).

Book Description
The 2.2 microns wavelength outer solar corona has been observed in two experiments: first, employing a ground-based telescope during the 93 second totality of the eclipse of 12 November 1966; and second, employing a balloon package with an infrared coronagraph, flown to an altitude of 28 km, during a 5.25 hour period, on 9 January 1967. The design and evaluation of the balloon-borne coronagraph is discussed, and the various origins of stray light investigated. The flight coronagraph was found to introduce a stray radiance of less than 3 x 10 to the -12th power B sub dot, where B sub dot is the radiance of the mean solar disk at 2.2 microns. During eclipse the corona was observed from 2 to 6 solar radii in the ecliptic plane, and at a single point perpendicular to the ecliptic, at 5 solar radii. Balloon observations covered the range 3.7 to 10 solar radii, at position angles from 20 degrees north to 40 degrees south of the ecliptic, on the east limb of the sun. Features attributed to the vaporization of interplanetary material were observed at 3.5, 4, 8.7 and 9.2 solar radii, the former two during the period of totality, and the latter three during the balloon observations.
