The photometric-flattening index of the solar corona was introduced by Ludendorff in the 1930s. It characterizes the white-light corona's shape as observed during total solar …
The Ludendorff coronal flattening index is a quantitative parameter to analyze the global structure and shape of the corona. This index plays a crucial role in identifying solar …
We observed a total solar eclipse (TSE) on 20 April 2023 in Timor Leste and analyzed the isophote of the coronal image. We obtained a coronal flattening index (ε) with a value of 0.10 …
