The distribution of the solar intensity in the Lyman α line has been measured close to the visible limb. It is compared to a computation including LTE departures (as evaluated by Y. Cuny). As far as the profile of the line and the intensity (integrated over the line) are concerned, the interspicular model of Coates is the only one which seems to agree with the observations.
