AbstractThe density and temperature profiles in the solar corona are complex to describe, the observational diagnostics is not easy. Here we present a physics-based model to reconstruct the evolution of the electron density and temperature in the solar corona based on the configuration of the magnetic field imprinted on the solar surface. The structure of the coronal magnetic field is estimated from Potential Field Source Surface (PFSS) based on magnetic field from both observational synoptic charts and a magnetic flux transport model. We use an emission model based on the ionization equilibrium and coronal abundances from CHIANTI atomic database 8.0. The preliminary results are discussed in details.

Recent two-dimensional observations of the quiet sun at 80 MHz by Sheridan showed a persistent low-intensity source (radio enhancement) whose daily motion was consistent with a source at radius 0.95 R® rotating with a synodic period of 27.3 d. In this paper we shall attempt to interpret this result in terms of the effects of refraction and opacity in model coronas. Comprehensive studies of the Sun at 169 MHz show that similar radio enhancements are associated with coronal streamers and that reasonable values for electron density and temperature within the coronal streamer allow the observations to be explained in terms of thermal radiation. Hence we shall consider only coronal models that possess streamer structure. We shall show that temperature enhancements within the streamer (‘thermal model’) do not lead to an apparent radius as small as that observed by Sheridan and that his observation may be better understood in terms of a non-thermal model for radiation from the streamer region.

The instruments which measure electron density and temperature are quite separate and independent in operation, but on account of the limitations in power supply and telemetry data rate the two experiments share the same power lines and some data channels.
