SGER: High Resolution Spectroscopy of Solar Flares

利用利克天文台现有的夜间天文设备，研究人员希望形成一种高分辨率太阳光谱学的新方法。他们的高分辨率太阳光谱观测占据了一天的大部分时间，在太阳票价研究中提供了特别独特和有价值的，通常只观察选定谱线周围的光谱。特别是，观测装置对于观测和理解“白光”耀斑发射是有价值的。先前对这一概念的测试得出了太阳耀斑非常详细的光谱，研究人员的巨大改进将使利克天文台拥有永久的能力。

Using existing equipment for nighttime astronomy at Lick Observatory, the investigators hope to form a new approach to high resolution solar spectroscopy. Their high resolution spectroscopic Sun observations are taken over much of the day, providing especially unique and valuable in solar fare studies, where typically only the spectrum around selected lines is observed. In particular, the observational setup is valuable for observing and understanding 'white light' flare emission. Previous tests with this concept resulted in a very detailed optical spectrum of a solar flare, and the investigators' dramatic improvements will lead to a permanent capability at Lick Observatory.
