The "E-corona" is the component of the corona with an emission-line spectrum, either inside or outside the wavelength band of visible light. It is a phenomenon of the ion component of the plasma, as individual ions are excited by collision with other ions or electrons, or by absorption of ultraviolet light from the Sun.
Lunar corona A solar corona up Beinn Mhòr (South Uist). In meteorology, a corona (plural coronae) is an optical phenomenon produced by the diffraction of sunlight or moonlight (or, occasionally, bright starlight or planetlight) [1] by individual small water droplets and sometimes tiny ice crystals of a cloud or on a foggy glass surface.
C2 - a white light coronagraph imaging from 1.5 to 6 solar radii (orange) C3 - a white light coronagraph imaging from 3.7 to 30 solar radii (blue) The first principal investigator was Dr. Guenter Brueckner. These coronagraphs monitor the solar corona by using an optical system to create, in effect, an artificial solar eclipse. The white light ...
The white-light emissions of helmet streamers is due to the high electron density of the confined plasma relative to the surrounding corona. Light from the photosphere is Thomson scattered off of these electrons with the intensity of scattered light depending on the number of electrons along the observer's line of sight.
A visual band light curve for R Coronae Australis, plotted from ASAS data [9] R Coronae Australis (R CrA) is a variable binary system in the constellation Corona Australis. [2] [8] It has varied between magnitudes 10 and 14.36. [10] A small reflection/emission nebula NGC 6729 extends from the star towards SE.
The cause for this is unknown, but thought possibly due to ejection of dust that obscured the star's light. [ 6 ] Theta Coronae Borealis B is a white main sequence star of spectral type A2V that is around 2.5 times as massive as the Sun and located 86 astronomical units from the primary star, the two stars taking an estimated 300 years to orbit ...

In astronomy and in astrophysics, for radiative losses of the solar corona, it is meant the energy flux radiated from the external atmosphere of the Sun (traditionally divided into chromosphere, transition region and corona), and, in particular, the processes of production of the radiation coming from the solar corona and transition region, where the plasma is optically-thin.
