Description:
Due to the rotation of the sun the solar corona can be observed under different directions at different times. Using methods of computer tomography the three-dimensional structure of the emissivity of the solar corona can be reconstructed. We discuss the feasibility of this method for stationary and for non-stationary corona and also for incomplete and finite resolution data. As example we present reconstructions based on YOHKOH-images, and we compare the results with ground-based optical corona observations. Structures are interpreted in terms of the solar magnetic field topology.
