MULTI CHANNEL MAGNETOGRAPH OBSERVATIONS I: COMPARISON WITH SPECTROHELIOGRAMS.
Abstract
A new technique for displaying magnetograph observations is presented and applied to the 12-channel magnetograph at Kitt Peak National Observatory. Using the data from a raster scan, a digital 'spectroheliogram' is constructed on the face of a cathode ray tube and photographed. This enables one to recognize patterns in magnetograph data as easily as with conventional photographs. Comparisons with simultaneous spectroheliograms show no qualitative differences and indicate that the magnetograph is quite capable of studying morphology of individual solar features. (Author)
