Abstract
Sensitive measurements of the near-infrared coronal spectrum were obta ined from the 1994 total solar eclipse. A new [S IX] emission line at 1.25249 +/- 0.00003 mu m has been detected, and a bright, potentially important diagnostic, [Si X] line at 1.43 mu m has been confirmed. Upp er limits on the intensity of several other predicted IR emission line s have been established. Also, diffuse He I emission, perhaps geocoron al, has been observed with a significant heliocentric redshift.
