Coronagraphic observations of an enhanced coronal region. I - Fe XIII and Ni XV emission line data.

Observation of nine coronal emission lines representing five stages of Fe ionization and one stage of Ni in an enhanced coronal region. The data from these observations are presented along with a density model of the enhanced region obtained from the Fe XIII and Ni XV emission line ratios as a function of position angle. The electron densities obtained from Fe XIII lines range from 10 to the 8th to 10 to the 9th per cu cm, and are slightly lower for Ni XV line data. Estimates of the variation of temperature over the enhanced region are inferred from the observed line intensities.
