Abstract
This article reports the analysis of a set of Fabry-Perot interferograms that were studied to probe the physical parameters of the inner solar corona. The observations were carried out in the coronal green line, Fe XIV 5302.86 Å, during the total solar eclipse of 21 June 2001 which occurred in Lusaka, Zambia. The study was performed in the radial range of 1.1-1.5 Ro and examines the Doppler velocity, halfwidth, centroid and asymmetry and their correlations with each other at various points in the corona. It is found that 59 % of the line profiles are blueshifted, 34 % of them are single components and only 7 % of them are redshifted. The variations of halfwidth and Doppler velocity with respect to coronal height have a large scatter and shows no significant changes. It has been found that the variations of halfwidth with Doppler velocity or centroid follow a parabolic trend with a weak correlation, whereas the relation between halfwidth and the asymmetry is inconclusive. These results may provide more insight to the coronal dynamics and help in understanding the coronal physical problems.
