Solar Magnetic Activity and Luminosity Variations

9320353 Topka这个研究项目的目的是发现更多关于太阳表面的小磁性元素对太阳光度变化的贡献。基本数据是太阳光球的高分辨率数字图像，加上同步和注册的数字磁图。这些都是通过超窄带可调滤光成像系统获得的，该系统是为太阳光学通用偏振仪、轨道太阳实验室的协调仪器包和洛克希德独立研究基金开发的。已经进行了初步研究；大量的数据分析和显示软件已经就位。

9320353 Topka The purpose of this research project is to discover more about the contribution that small magnetic elements on the surface of the Sun make to solar luminosity variations. The basic data are high resolution digital images of the solar photosphere coupled with simultaneous and registered digital magnetograms. These are obtained with the ultra-narrowband tunable filter imaging system which has been developed for the Solar Optical Universal Polarimeter, the Coordinated Instrument Package for the Orbiting Solar Laboratory, and by Lockheed Independent Research Funds. Preliminary research has been performed; large amounts of data analysis and display software are in place.
