Comparison of high-resolution solar irradiance spectra and the solar luminosity in the period 1980-1989
Abstract
In this research, we aim to determine to what extent the solar irradiance changes measured through the 1980's from orbiting vehicles are accompanied by spectroscopic irradiance changes observable from the ground. We describe fractional changes in line absorption as 'blanketing'. In section 2, we briefly review results obtained in an earlier project and which have been published. Section 3 describes the data of this investigation; section 4 describes the data reduction; section 5 describes the observational results in terms of blanketing; and section 6 describes the interpretation of the measured changes. Section 7 contains an outline of possible uses for Doppler-shift data that emerges with the measurements of the blanketing variations. Section 8 is an outline for future research suggested by our results in this project.
