| Abstract: | We calculate the profile and polarization of the Lα line in the solar corona. Coronal temperature variation, solar wind and other non-thermal motions have been taken into account. Because of the relatively low atomic weight of hydrogen the profile of the Lα line is a sensitive indicator of the coronal temperature. The line polarization contains relatively little information except for strong magnetic fields (> 70 G). |
