Observational framework reveals coronal features in the solar corona, indicating new insights for solar physics research.
Total solar eclipses provide unique opportunities to investigate the solar corona from the ground by blocking the intense photospheric emission and revealing faint coronal structures. The total solar eclipse of 2 August 2027, with its exceptionally long duration of totality, offers an important opportunity for coordinated observations using advanced imaging techniques beyond conventional visible-light photography. This paper presents an observational framework for studying the solar corona using complementary methods, including white-light imaging, hydrogen-alpha observations, spectropolarimetry, high dynamic range imaging, and multi-wavelength observations. The proposed strategy aims to investigate coronal morphology, magnetic-field-related structures, plasma properties, and large-scale coronal features through coordinated ground-based observations. The study discusses instrumentation requirements, calibration methods, data acquisition strategies, and the potential scientific value of eclipse observations in support of solar physics research. The proposed framework is intended to support future observational campaigns during the 2 August 2027 total solar eclipse and contribute to open-access solar corona datasets.
