Abstract
The Ultraviolet Coronal Spectrometer on Spartan 201 obtained measureme nts of H I Lyalpha line profiles and O VI lambda103.2/103.7 nm integra ted intensities in a helmet streamer. Similar measurements were made o n the solar disk to characterize the incident radiation which is the s ource for the resonantly scattered component of the lines. A descripti on of the H I Ly alpha observations in the streamer will be presented. A more complete physical description of the observed coronal regions will become available after the analysis of additional data from coord inated observations made by visible coronagraphs and x-ray telescopes.
