Abstract
We analyze data observed by the LASCO C1 coronagraph on board the SOHO spacecraft during the solar minimum activity from April 1996 to March 1997. Using the phase dispersion technique, we investigate the periodicity and recurrence of Fe XIV emission structures with heliospheric latitude and distance above the Sun's surface with high spatial resolution. We find no significant deviation from a rigidly rotating Fe XIV corona with latitude or with distance from the Sun even on these small scales. In agreement with earlier work, the coronal rotation period at solar minimum is about 27.5 ± 1 days.
