الوصف: The Cryogenic Near-Infrared Spectropolarimeter (Cryo-NIRSP) is now conducting science operations at the National Science Foundation’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST). We report results obtained during instrument commissioning that advance multiwavelength coronagraphic observations in the infrared. This includes the first observations of the Fe xiii 1075 nm, Fe xiii 1079 nm, Si x 1430 nm, and Si ix 3934 nm forbidden lines. The Si ix observations, in particular, significantly improve upon the few previous ground-based detections and open up this diagnostic for more routine study. We analyse long-slit spectra in each line sampling elongations from 1.06 to 1.52 solar radii above the northeast solar limb on 2022 February 14. Line characteristics as a function of radial distance are derived and discussed in comparison to modeled emission emergent from global coronal magnetohydrodynamic models with different heating prescriptions. We find favorable correspondence between the observations and different aspects of these models, and further demonstrate the utility of infrared observations for constraining coronal models. Continued DKIST/Cryo-NIRSP observations including polarimetric data, together with ongoing improvements in data calibrations, promise significant value for coronal studies.
