AbstractThe conventional way of quantitative description of coronal forms is shown to be inadequate as compared with actual coronal configurations. The standard technique of determining the Ludendorff’s parameter in the heiiographic reference has no physical meaning. However the similar parameter as determined in the heliomagnetic frame of reference is of quite clear physical meaning since it depicts the actual concentration of the coronal material towards the heliospheric current sheet. Conclusion of a need to revise the conventional view on relation of coronal forms with the sunspot cycle is pointed out.

AbstractTopology of the outer solar corona has been analysed. In doing so the outer corona is treated as a visible manifestation of the heliospheric current sheet base. Generalization of the recent conception of the flat (galaxy-like) solar corona has been suggested. It is shown that 3D structure of the outer corona is well fitted by a second-degree surface of a hyperbolic paraboloid.
