We present the first quantitative three-dimensional (3D) tomographic reconstructions of electron density from coronagraph measurements of the K-corona’s total brightness ( B) made by LASCO-C2 on SOHO. This is possible because new calibrations of the LASCO-C2 images in both polarized brightness ( pB) and B have now been made for the entire mission. The B and pB reconstructions are compared, and the differences are explained in terms of line of sight weighting functions in Thomson scattering. We conclude that the LASCO-C2 B archive, which is vastly larger than the pB archive, will be a very valuable resource for determining the 3D electron density throughout the SOHO mission which started taking data in 1996.
