Abstract
The Wide-Field Light and Spectrometric Coronograph (LASCO) to be flown on SOHO in 1995 is designed to perform accurate photopolarimetric observations of the solar corona. For simulation purpose but also to have a two-dimensional model of the F-corona, we have realized synthetic maps of its brightness and polarization.
