We present a spectral atlas of the solar corona in the far-ultraviolet
(FUV) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wavelength range. The atlas is based on
observations obtained between 670 Å and 1609 Å in first order of diffraction
and between 465 and 670 Å in second order with the SUMER (Solar Ultraviolet Measurements of Emitted
Radiation) spectrograph on SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory). This paper
complements the SUMER Spectral Atlas of Solar Disk Features, also published in A&A.
The atlas contains off-limb spectra of the corona above a coronal hole, a quiet region,
the active corona, and a flare. We provide wavelengths of all detected lines and
identification, if available; 311 out of 507 coronal emission lines could be
identified or reconfirmed, including several new identifications.
Brief descriptions of the data reduction and
calibration procedures are given. The spectral radiances are determined with
a relative uncertainty of 0.15 to 0.40 (1σ) and the wavelength scale
is accurate to typically 30 mÅ. The atlas is also available in a
machine readable format.
