Résumé

Full Sun hydrogen Lyman α and β profiles obtained through the activity cycle are needed to compare with stars, to understand the hydrogen distribution in the heliosphere and to evaluate the processes in the upper planetary atmospheres. Using the SUMER/SOHO telesocope scattered light properties, we have measured the Lyman α and β profiles at different epochs of the solar activity cycle. Here we report modifications in the intensity and the shape of the profiles.
