Solar radius in 2005 and 2006 eclipses
Abstract
Baily beads timings of annular eclipse of October 3, 2005 and total eclipse of March 29, 2006 have been analyzed for measuring a variation of the actual solar radius between those dates. After 1/3 of all beads events analyzed, corrections to average solar radius are known within ±0.19”. High resolution video have been made at the boundaries of totality-annularity paths, to increase the number of beads visible. Comparison of observations made with different combinations of telescopes/filters/detectors is discussed.
