Solar H i Lyman α full disk profile obtained with the SUMER / SOHO spectrometer
نویسنده
چکیده
An uncalibrated solar hydrogen Lyman α profile was obtained with the use of the spectrometer on SOHO. The collection of the light scattered by the telescope permitted to average the profile over the full solar disk. The profile taken at the L1 Sun-Earth Lagrangian position is free of the central geocoronal absorption. Then, taking advantage of the absolute flux measured by the SOLSTICE/UARS spectrometer, an absolute line profile intensity is derived, and is compared with previous observations at minimum solar activity.

Detection of mesogranulation at the upper chromosphere from SOHO/SUMER observations
Aims. Our aim is to detect the mesogranulation structures at the upper solar chromosphere Methods. We have analyzed a time series of spectra in the hydrogen Lyman lines and the Lyman continuum obtained by the Solar Ultraviolet Measurements of Emitted Radiation (SUMER) spectrometer on the SOlar Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). The time series of about 2 hours and 22 minutes was obtained on 1999 ...

We have measured the radiance of quiet-Sun areas at the centre of the solar disk using the vacuum-ultraviolet telescope-spectrograph SUMER (Solar Ultraviolet Measurements of Emitted Radiation) on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). The radiances of selected emission lines have been measured from March 1996 to the present. The lines that have been observed regularly since the beginnin...

The SUMER (Solar Ultraviolet Measurements of Emitted Radiation) Spectrometer on SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) has been used to observe the lines of the Lyman series (up to quantum numbers larger than 20) of hydrogen emitted in the solar atmosphere. The line shapes and intensities versus height are obtained near the limb from about -10′′ to 70′′. The lines are broad and show the typi...

We have analysed the latitudinal properties of the profiles of the H I Lyman α line at 1215.6 ˚ A and of the O VI doublet at 1031.9 ˚ A and 1037.6 ˚ A in the extended solar corona, between 1.5 R and 2.0 R. Observations have been performed with the UltraViolet Coronagraph Spectrometer (UVCS) on board the ESA-NASA solar satellite SOHO (SOlar and He-liospheric Observatory). The results show that t...

We present a study of a high spatial resolution raster scan taken on-disk with the SoHO/SUMER spectrograph in a solar polar Coronal Hole (CH) region. We have analysed the line shifts and widths of two EUV emitting ions, O 703.87 Å and Mg 706.02 Å. Our results confirm plasma outflows from CHs. In particular, the correlation between the intensity and the Doppler velocity in the case of the...
