3. The Solar Corona
What is it? How did it get that way?

4. Corona shines at level of one millionth the photosphere
Corona shines at level of one millionth the photosphere. It is Thompson scattered sunlight

5. To understand astronomical objects, astronomers take spectra
The spectrum of the corona reveals its most interesting characteristic

6. The dominant ionization state depends on the temperature…example N

7. The X-Ray Sun

8. The Temperature Profile in the Solar Atmosphere

9. The key to understanding the corona is the solar magnetic field
