A Spectral Atlas of the Sun between 1175 and 2100 Angstroms.
Abstract
This atlas provides solar spectra with high spectral resolution which will satisfy the needs of both solar physics and aeronomy for information on the solar spectrum in the wavelength range 1175 to 2100 Angstroms. The spectra may furthermore be useful for comparison with stellar UV spectra and with the red shifted spectra of quasars. Specific intensities as functions of wavelength are shown for two quiet regions between 1175 and 2100 Angstroms and for one active region between 1680 and 2100 Angstroms. The two quiet regions, located at heliocentric positions cos theta = 0.73 and cos theta = 0.32, represent a disk and a limb spectrum of the sun. The absolute intensities are determined with an accuracy of + or - 25% and the wavelength scale is accurate to 0.025 Angstroms. The sepctral resolution is 0.07 Angstroms. (Author)
