An experiment is in course of preparation at the Astrophysics Research Unit at Culham for flight on a Sun-pointing rocket. It is designed to determine the ionization temperature and electron density as a function of height in the temperature range of about 8 × 104 K to 3 × 106 K by measuring limb to disk intensity ratios of extreme ultraviolet emission lines in the 170 to 850 Å region. The work is an extension of current experiments in which normal-incidence spectrographs are used to determine the structure lower in the chromosphere-corona transition region.
