A new cavity pyrheliometer, the active cavity radiometer type IV (ACR IV), has been developed for the measurement of total solar optical irradiance. Analysis predicts its ability to measure at the solar constant level with 0.1% uncertainty in SI units. In comparison tests ACR IVs have consistently demonstrated 0.5% higher results than the World Radiometrie Reference scale. A prototype has been tested, and a flight instrument has been developed and flown in a sounding rocket experiment to determine the solar constant. ACR IV instrumentation is being developed for flight experiments on the Spacelab 1 and Solar Maximum Missions to monitor the total solar output of optical radiation as part of a long-term program to detect variations of climatological significance.The full paper appeared in Appl.

Empirical values of solar damping constants and their variation with optical depth were derived according to a method developed earlier by the authors. The damping constants refer to six infrared multiplets (24 lines). The average optical depths range from 0 = 0.5 to 2.2. Corresponding theoretical damping constants were computed, mainly on the basis of Van der Waals damping, and with the help of detailed computations of the mean square radii of the atomic levels by Van Rensbergen. The empirical values are systematically larger than the theoretical ones, with factors ranging between 1.8 and 4.9. Some speculations about the source of this discrepancy are given. 相似文献

The nature of the three-minute and five-minute oscillations observed in sunspots is considered to be an effect of propagation
of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves from the photosphere to the solar corona. However, the real modes of these waves and the
nature of the filters that result in rather narrow frequency bands of these modes are still far from being generally accepted,
in spite of a large amount of observational material obtained in a wide range of wave bands. The significance of this field
of research is based on the hope that local seismology can be used to find the structure of the solar atmosphere in magnetic
tubes of sunspots. We expect that substantial progress can be achieved by simultaneous observations of the sunspot oscillations
in different layers of the solar atmosphere in order to gain information on propagating waves. In this study we used a new
method that combines the results of an oscillation study made in optical and radio observations. The optical spectral measurements
in photospheric and chromospheric lines of the line-of-sight velocity were carried out at the Sayan Solar Observatory. The
radio maps of the Sun were obtained with the Nobeyama Radioheliograph at 1.76 cm. Radio sources associated with the sunspots
were analyzed to study the oscillation processes in the chromosphere – corona transition region in the layer with magnetic
field B=2000 G. A high level of instability of the oscillations in the optical and radio data was found. We used a wavelet analysis
for the spectra. The best similarities of the spectra of oscillations obtained by the two methods were detected in the three-minute
oscillations inside the sunspot umbra for the dates when the active regions were situated near the center of the solar disk.
A comparison of the wavelet spectra for optical and radio observations showed a time delay of about 50 seconds of the radio
results with respect to the optical ones. This implies an MHD wave traveling upward inside the umbral magnetic tube of the
sunspot. For the five-minute oscillations the similarity in spectral details could be found only for optical oscillations
at the chromospheric level in the umbral region or very close to it. The time delays seem to be similar. Besides three-minute
and five-minute ones, oscillations with longer periods (8 and 15 minutes) were detected in optical and radio records. Their
nature still requires further observational and theoretical study for even a preliminary discussion. 相似文献

In the present paper we present the results of measurement of magnetic fields in some sunspots at different heights in the solar atmosphere, based on simultaneous optical and radio measurements. The optical measurements were made by traditional photographic spectral observations of Zeeman splitting in a number of spectral lines originating at different heights in the solar photosphere and chromosphere. Radio observations of the spectra and polarization of the sunspot - associated sources were made in the wavelength range of 2–4 cm using large reflector-type radio telescope RATAN-600. The magnetic field penetrating the hot regions of the solar atmosphere were found from the shortest wavelength of generation of thermal cyclotron emission (presumably in the third harmonic of electron gyrofrequency). For all the eight cases under consideration we have found that magnetic field first drops with height, increases from the photosphere to lower chromosphere, and then decreases again as we proceed to higher chromosphere and chromosphere-corona transition region. Radio measurements were found to be well correlated with optical measurements of magnetic fields for the same sunspot. An alternative interpretation implies that different lines used for magnetic field measurements refer to different locations on the solar surface. If this is the case, then the inversion in vertical gradients of magnetic fields may not exist above the sunspots. Possible sources of systematic and random errors are also discussed. 相似文献

A new instrument, called a videometer, has been developed to measure solar flare area, peak intensity and integrated intensity in real time. The videometer uses a closed circuit television system to convert an optical H image into electrical signals for measurement. Observations of two Class I flares with the videometer are discussed. 相似文献

The helioseismological experiment onboard the CORONAS-PHOTON satellite is intended for the study of characteristics and the
internal structure of the Sun using the solar eigenmodes spectrum obtained by the measurement of fluctuations of the solar
radiation intensity. This experiment is the continuation of investigations of solar global oscillations started onboard artificial
satellites CORONAS-I and CORONAS-F. Measurements of fluctuations of the solar radiation intensity in seven optical ranges—from
the near ultraviolet to infrared spectral regions—are carried out by the solar photometer SOKOL (SOlnechnye KOLebaniya (Solar
Oscillations)) developed at IZMIRAN. Over an instrument operation period of more than 9 months, a large volume of the scientific
information (more than 500 MB) has been obtained. The primary processing of obtained data was performed, and spectra of fluctuations
of the solar radiation intensity were constructed. On the basis of part of the processed information obtained by the photometer
SOKOL, and data of the experiment DIFOS (Differential Oscillations of the Sun) onboard the artificial satellite CORONAS-F,
the dependence of the relative amplitude of oscillations on the wavelength of the observation was determined. 相似文献

An accurate measurement of the gravitational field of the Sun, needed for the verification of the theories of gravitation, requires the use of a geodesic test body. To eliminate the effect of non-gravitational forces (mainly the solar radiation pressure) we propose to use two twin space probes, whose surface has identical geometrical and optical properties, but with different mass. Their differential motion leads to the determination of the motion of an ideal geodesic point. We discuss in detail the various conditions which are needed to ensure the required degree of identity and submit as a possible solution two cylindrical probes, whose sides are covered by cavities to make them absorbing, rotating at a fast rate around an axis orthogonal to the ecliptic plane. We discuss briefly also the accuracy in the determination of the parameters of the metric field of the Sun obtainable from range measurements.Work done at the European Space Research Institute, Frascati, Italy 相似文献

A broadband anti-reflective(AR) coating design for astronomical large-aperture telescopes is proposed. We give simulations of two-, three-and four-layer silica sol-gel on fused silica and finally get the optimal optical constants. As a comparison, we discuss the traditional dielectric material that has been applied to broadband AR coatings. To better guide the following experiment, we also conduct error analysis and feasibility analysis, combining with the technological characteristics of sol-gel. The analytical method is suitable for other wavebands and substrates. It is also instructive for large area AR coatings in the field of solar cells. 相似文献

Active or adaptive optics often require the ability to characterize wavefront aberrations using natural extended sources.
The task becomes especially challenging when dealing with widely extended sources such as the solar granulation. We propose
a new approach based on the processing of oppositely defocused images. This method, which is a generalization of a technique
known as curvature sensing, derives the wavefront curvature from the difference between two oppositely defocused images and
determines the second momenta of the point spread function. The proposed method measures the wavefront aberration from the
images themselves, requires little computational resources, is fast enough to be used in a real-time adaptive optics system
and is particularly adapted to random patterns such as solar granulation or spot penumbras whose morphology evolves during
the observation. We envision the application of the method to real-time seeing compensation in solar astronomical telescopes,
and to the correction of optical system aberrations in remote sensing instrumentation. This effort is directed towards building
a curvature sensor for the real-time applications. 相似文献

Accurate heliographic coordinates of objects on the Sun have to be known in several fields of solar physics. One of the factors
that affect the accuracy of the measurements of the heliographic coordinates is the accuracy of the orientation of a solar
image. In this paper the well-known drift method for determining the orientation of the solar image is applied to data taken
with a solar telescope equipped with a CCD camera. The factors that influence the accuracy of the method are systematically
discussed, and the necessary corrections are determined. These factors are as follows: the trajectory of the center of the
solar disk on the CCD with the telescope drive turned off, the astronomical refraction, the change of the declination of the
Sun, and the optical distortion of the telescope. The method can be used on any solar telescope that is equipped with a CCD
camera and is capable of taking solar full-disk images. As an example to illustrate the method and its application, the orientation
of solar images taken with the Gyula heliograph is determined. As a byproduct, a new method to determine the optical distortion
of a solar telescope is proposed. 相似文献

The Laser Astrometric Test of Relativity (LATOR) is an experiment designed to test the metric nature of gravitation—a fundamental postulate of the Einstein’s general theory of relativity. The key element of LATOR is a geometric redundancy provided by the long-baseline optical interferometry and interplanetary laser ranging. By using a combination of independent time-series of gravitational deflection of light in the immediate proximity to the Sun, along with measurements of the Shapiro time delay on interplanetary scales (to a precision respectively better than 0.1 picoradians and 1 cm), LATOR will significantly improve our knowledge of relativistic gravity and cosmology. The primary mission objective is i) to measure the key post-Newtonian Eddington parameter γ with accuracy of a part in 109. $\frac{1}{2}(1-\gamma)$ is a direct measure for presence of a new interaction in gravitational theory, and, in its search, LATOR goes a factor 30,000 beyond the present best result, Cassini’s 2003 test. Other mission objectives include: ii) first measurement of gravity’s non-linear effects on light to ~0.01% accuracy; including both the traditional Eddington β parameter and also the spatial metric’s 2nd order potential contribution (never measured before); iii) direct measurement of the solar quadrupole moment J 2 (currently unavailable) to accuracy of a part in 200 of its expected size of ??10???7; iv) direct measurement of the “frame-dragging” effect on light due to the Sun’s rotational gravitomagnetic field, to 0.1% accuracy. LATOR’s primary measurement pushes to unprecedented accuracy the search for cosmologically relevant scalar-tensor theories of gravity by looking for a remnant scalar field in today’s solar system. We discuss the science objectives of the mission, its technology, mission and optical designs, as well as expected performance of this experiment. LATOR will lead to very robust advances in the tests of fundamental physics: this mission could discover a violation or extension of general relativity and/or reveal the presence of an additional long range interaction in the physical law. There are no analogs to LATOR; it is unique and is a natural culmination of solar system gravity experiments. 相似文献

Radio maps with a resolution of 1″.5 were made of Saturn at 1.3, 2, and 6 cm. The inclination of the ring plane was ?5°.4. A fraction of 0.49 ± 0.08 of Saturn's emitted light is transmitted through the rings at λ2 and λ6 cm. This value converts to an effective head-on or normal optical depth of 0.07 ± 0.02. The transparency at this small inclination angle must be provided entirely by the regions of very low optical depth, e.g., the Cassini and Encke's Divisions, and to achieve our number this requires either a relatively large fraction of gaps or a strong forward scattering by the ring particles. The planetary disk appears to be much less limb darkened in the N-S than the E-W direction, while cuts across the planet, averaged over all directions, agree with the theoretical limb-darkening curves for a planet with a uniform atmosphere and solar abundances for all chemical elements. 相似文献

Hematite is an iron oxide that is very important for the study of climatic evolution of Mars. It can occur in three forms: nanophase (dark purple), fine-grained (red) and coarse-grained (gray).In a previous work, we studied the influence of particle size and shape on the infrared spectra (in the wavelength range 6.25-50 μm) of submicron red hematite particles and found that bulk optical constants did not fit the spectra of very fine particles with several classes of models.In the present paper, we derive bulk optical constants of a sample of the same parent material of hematite already used in a previous work in order to determine the particulate optical constants. As a first result we find that, also in this case, bulk and particulate optical constants are different from each other. Furthermore, we show that these bulk optical constants, although derived starting from the same parent material of hematite and used with a model adopting the laboratory measured grain size distribution of the sample, cannot be used to reproduce the spectra of submicron particles. Our results can help the scientific community to appropriately model the contribution of hematite submicron grains to the martian dust for a better understanding of the geologic evolution of the planet. 相似文献

An image stabilizer has been inserted into the optical path of the THEMIS solar telescope. THEMIS is a Ritchey–Chretien reflector telescope using an altazimuthal mount and closely tied to its spectrograph. The optical and mechanical design, implementation and system tests are described, and emphasis is put on the complexity of situations that this stabilizer must accept, including the scanning of the solar surface while stabilizing. The current closed-loop crossover frequency of the device is 65 Hz at ??3 dB on all typical solar scenes. 相似文献

A telescope based upon dark-lens diffractive optics would be a uniquely new instrument for solar astronomy. The image formation
process in such a telescope gives an intrinsically higher resolving power and a greatly reduced image intensity compared to
that of refracting or reflecting optical systems of similar lens dimension. This low image intensity would be an advantage
for solar observations made using a very large imaging element. After a brief overview of the history of solar instrument
development, a quantitative evaluation of the dark-lens diffracting solar telescope concept is presented, showing the potential
of this imaging method to meet or even to exceed the most demanding resolution goals currently being considered for future
space-borne solar telescopes. 相似文献

In this work, we describe an analysis of the internal solar radiation fields in Saturn's atmosphere. The aim of this paper is to study how the solar radiation flux in optical wavelengths (0.25-1.0 μm) is attenuated, primarily by the effect of the aerosols located close to the tropopause level, retrieving also the corresponding solar heating rates. We use a doubling-adding method and previous results on the vertical cloud and haze structure of Saturn's atmosphere. Our study shows that the maximum penetration level (∼250 mbar) for these wavelengths is substantially higher than previously expected because of the huge optical thickness of the tropospheric haze described in all vertical cloud structure models. We compare our results with previous estimates and parameterizations for seasonal climate models and propose a new approach for future models, with an intense and concentrated heating rate close to the top level of the tropospheric haze. Given that our spectral range accounts for about the 70% of the total solar flux, and using previous estimates for the penetration levels of infrared radiation in Saturn's atmosphere, we conclude solar radiation effect is negligible at levels below 600 mbar. This result is fundamental for understanding the role of solar radiation in the general atmospheric circulation of Saturn. 相似文献

The motion of spherical dust particles under the action of gravity, electromagnetic radiation force and Lorentz force (LF) is studied theoretically for materials with temperature-dependent dielectric functions in the visible (VIS) spectral range. Even a weak variation of the optical constants with heliocentric distance may influence predominately a long-term dynamical behaviour of submicron-sized and small micron-sized dust grains. It is shown that the lifetime of carbonaceous or Si particles may change by several tens of per cent because of the temperature dependence of particle refractive indices. The orbital inclination is the most evident difference between the evolution of a dust particle with temperature-dependent optical properties and one without. While carbonaceous 2-μm-sized particles with optical constants independent of temperature may evolve in orbits with inclinations greater than an initial value, grains of the same size with variable refractive indices will be spread along orbits characterized with inclinations lower than the initial one. Here the temperature works as a separation factor for particles having slightly different temperature dependences of the optical constants. 相似文献
