On anticorrelation of number of coronal bright points with sunspot number during 1996–2006 Original Research Article

Using full disk SOHO/EIT data from 1996 to 2006, we study latitudinal distribution of coronal bright points over a period of one solar cycle. We confirm the presence of two distinct types of coronal bright points, and find that the number of “quiet corona” bright points in high latitudes anticorrelate with solar activity as defined by the sunspot numbers.
