The Ultraviolet Solar Spectrum, λλ 2935-3060.
Abstract
Solar spectrograms, obtained with a 21-foot concave grating, show better detail below X 3100 than has been reported previously. New measurements of wave length and visual estimates of intensity have been made for 665 lines, XX 2935-3060. Solar standards of wave length near X 4500 were observed in the second order for fixing the scale in the overlapping third order. Final measurements were made in the second-order ultraviolet. The new intensities are consistent with those found in the region of greater wave lengths; many of them differ widely from the early values. From a thorough study of laboratory data, identifications have been found for three-fourths of the tabulated lines. The lower E.P. is given for every classified line. Additional measurements (500 lines, XX 3060-3150), not presented in detail, show that differences be- tween our interpretation of solar spectrograms and that made by Jewell from Rowland's plates occur even where it is easy to obtain excellent spectrograms.
