Imaging Fabry-Perot observations of green coronal line during the total solar eclipse of 21 June 2001

Abstract

A Fabry-Perot interferometric experiment on the Green Coronal line was successfully performed during the total solar eclipse of 21 June 2001 from Lusaka, Zambia. Use of a cooled CCD camera permitted 17 separate exposures during the totality which lasted 194 sec. Green line fringes could be traced up to and beyond 1.5 R0 . Details of the experiment and emerging results are presented.
