Abstract
Time-lapse sequences of white-light images, obtained during sunspot minimum conditions in 1996 by the Large Angle Spectrometric Coronagraph on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, give the impression of a continuous outflow of material in the streamer belt, as if we were observing Thomson scattering from inhomogeneities in the solar wind. Pursuing this idea, we have tracked the birth and outflow of 50-100 of the most prominent moving coronal features and find that:
