Mp. Miralles et al., Properties of coronal hole/streamer boundaries and adjacent regions as observed by Spartan 201, SPACE SCI R, 87(1-2), 1999, pp. 277-281
The Spartan 201 flights from 1993 to 1995 provided us with observations in
H I Lyman-alpha of several coronal hole/streamer boundaries and adjacent st
reamers during the declining phase of the current solar cycle. Analysis of
the latitudinal dependence of the line intensities clearly shows that there
is a boundary region at the coronal hole/streamer interface where the H I
Lyman-alpha intensity reaches a minimum value. Similar results are also fou
nd in UVCS/SOHO observations. We also discuss differences in the coronal ho
le/streamer boundaries for different types of streamers and their changes o
ver the three year period of Spartan 201 observations.
