Studies of narrow-band interference filters have shown that two mechanisms exist that cause drift to shorter wavelengths. One is dependent on the thermal history of the filter, and the other depends on the radiation history. The present paper presents experimental results on thermal effects; and it is shown that by a proper bake cycle, ZnS-cryolite filters are stable for years if stored at less than 38 degrees C.
This paper describes a photographic technique for recording solar spectra. The technique, which we call spectra-spectroheliography, requires the same amount of observing time as conventional spectroheliography but yields much more information. Data reduction techniques have been de veloped to use this information for the construction of spectroheliograms and other contour maps.
Parameters investigated by this method include the vector magnetic field, line-of-sight velocity, con tinuum intensity, and line strength. Results indicate (1) good correlation between bright regions in spectroheliograms and small vertical magnetic fields; (2) poorer correlation between larger magnetic fields and bright regions;(3) a feature in the continuum resembling a pore but having no vertical magnetic field; and (4) a gradient in the vertical magnetic field of 12 kG/arc s.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
