Description

Profiles obtained from NRL Skylab solar spectra of the 1640.4 A feature identified as the Hα line of He ii are discussed and compared with theoretical profiles derived assuming (a) collisional excitation and (b) radiative recombination as the dominant excitation mechanism. Relative intensities of this line as a function of altitude above and below the solar white-light limb (from -12'' to +8'') are also given for a representative quiet Sun region and for a polar coronal hole.
