CEDAR: Determination of Geocoronal Balmer-alpha Intensities and Upper Atmospheric Hydrogen Densities from WHAM Fabry-Perot Observations

该奖励将支持对656.1 nm地日冕巴尔默发射光谱剖面的分析和额外测量，该光谱剖面将由运行在亚利桑那州基特峰的威斯康星h - α映射器（WHAM）在太阳极小期和太阳极大期之间获得的数据获得。这些结果将与由全球原子共振辐射输运建模代码表示的Bishop建模相结合。这些结果将使目前的妇女健康评估数据库能够从几个个案研究扩展到一个更全面的数据库。这些结果将使公众有可能访问WHAM基于web的日冕柱整合巴尔默α强度数据库。

Abstract for Roesler 0003166 This award would support analysis and additional measurements of the spectral profile of the geocoronal Balmer emission at 656.1 nm that would be obtained for data obtained in the period between solar minimum and solar maximum by the Wisconsin H-alpha mapper (WHAM) operating at Kitt Peak, AZ. These results would be combined with modeling of Bishop that is represented by the global atomic resonance radiation transport modeling code. These results would enable the extension of the current WHAM data base from a few case studies to a much more comprehensive database. These results would make possible public access to the WHAM web-based database of geocoronal column-integrated Balmer-alpha intensities.
