A spectroscopic method for calibration of solar extreme ultraviolet instrumentationA method of calibrating solar extreme ultraviolet spectrographs in space using coronal emission lines of known relative intensity is presented and demonstrated. This approach is useful for recalibrating orbiting instruments that may be subject to degradation during extended periods of operation. The calibration results are insensitive to the physical distribution of emitting plasma in any likely solar coronal source. It is suggested that this technique may be useful for calibration of spectrographs used in the study of laboratory plasmas.
