Abstract We derive a factorization formula for the Ihara zeta function of the corona of two graphs. When the two graphs are regular, this factorization formula involves the graphs' adjacency spectra. As an application, we show that if each composing graph of a corona of regular graphs is replaced with a cospectral mate, then the Ihara zeta function of the corona does not change. We also give a formula for the weighted Kirchhoff index of the corona of two regular graphs.
