Abstract:
The solar corona was photographed at an effective wavelength of 6300A during the total eclipse of 1983, June 11 at Indonesia. From the isophotes of the corona, the intensity distributions along the equator, poles, streamers and gaps have been derived. The intensity along the equatorial and polar directions can be represented well by a 19/sup0/ polynomial. The brightness distribution and the Ludendorff parameters of this corona are typical of the intermediate phase of the solar cycle
