We investigated the UV emission expected from solar coronal transients
, selecting some spectral lines which will be observed with the UVCS s
pectrocoronagraph onboard the SOHO spacecraft. The line intensities we
re calculated starting from a representative, simplified model of coro
nal transient. We discuss how the considerd intensities depend on the
physical parameters of the examined structures. This work is aimed to
give a contribution in defining and preparing the future observations
of coronal transients and coronal mass ejections by the UVCS/SOHO.
