Abstract: | A new instrument capable of 3-min time resolution full-disk and limb observations in the Hei 1083 nm spectral line has been
in operation at the High Altitude Observatory's Mauna Loa Solar Observatory (MLSO) since April 1996. We discuss instrument
capabilities and performance and present some initial observations of limb activity from the first year of instrument operation.
We compare limb Hei and Hα observations of quiescent and active prominences, comment on the role of Doppler shifts in interpreting
the Hei observations, and illustrate the use of disk/limb Hei observations of a CME-associated eruptive filament in mass-ejection
studies. |
