Abstract

Observations of coronal Fe XIV emission lines from the NE quadrant during the 1973 solar eclipse are reported. Temperatures are deduced from a pure thermal broadening model, and, in the region near an observed white-light enhancement, an alternative interpretation of halfwidth as being in part due to turbulent velocities is suggested.
