Description
Present knowledge of the structure, physical properties and evolution of the quiet corona is limited and dispersed. It consists of coronagraph and eclipse data in the visible, a few XUV observations, broad-band X-ray images and radio observations. The papers presented in this volume emphasize the aspects of the corona which are always present - the so-called quiet corona - although work relating to activity and transient phenomena is also covered. New observations showing the corona to be very complex and dynamic over a wide range of time scales are examined. Regarding new ways of looking at old problems, these proceedings also include the three-dimensional structure of coronal streamers, the variation of element abundance between different solar structures, micro-flares as a mechanism for coronal heating and the possible existence of hot coronae in low-collision rate atmospheres without the need for a heating mechanism. The 30 papers contained in this volume encapsulate the current knowledge of solar corona and indicate the many avenues now open for future research.
