The Solar Corona
TL;DR: A brief history of coronal studies can be found in this paper, where the authors describe the first four decades of the solar cycle and the first 4 decades of ground-based observations from space.

TL;DR: Observations at a variety of visible and infrared wavelengths of an occultation of a star by Pluto in August 2002 reveal evidence for extinction in Pluto's atmosphere and show that it has indeed changed, having expanded rather than collapsed, since 1988.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D magnetohydrodynamic model of the solar corona driven by measured magnetic fields was used to predict what the corona would look like one week before the eclipse.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectral observations of spicules at two heights in the solar chromosphere.
TL;DR: In this paper, an observational program at the Sacramento Peak Observatory in 1965 provided high-dispersion spectra of the solar chromosphere in several spectral regions simultaneously, including the spectral lines Hα, Hβ and Hβ, the D3-line of Hei, the infrared triplet of Oi, and the H- and K-lines of ionized calcium.

TL;DR: Observations of a multi-chord stellar occultation by KBO 55636, which occurred on 9 October 2009, find that it has a mean radius of 143 ± 5 km and a geometric albedo of in the V photometric band, which establishes that KBO55636 is smaller than previously thought and that, like its parent body, it is highly reflective.
