New possibilities of non-eclipse observations of the solar K-corona with liquid-mirror telescopes

Experimental and methodical possibilities of modern observations of the solar K-corona have been analyzed. It is shown that for obtaining information on matter distribution and dynamics in the internal solar corona, it is necessary to measure both its polarization component and its total radiation in the continuum. In order to reduce the atmospheric and instrumental background, the employment of K-coronameters with an apodized liquid mirror is proposed. Such coronameters should operate in the near infrared range and be installed at a latitude zone where the Sun can be observed in the zenith.
