Interplanetary Lyman α line profiles : variations with solar activity cycle
Aims. Interplanetary Lyman α line profiles are derived from the SWAN H cell data measurements. The measurements cover a 6-year period from solar minimum (1996) to after the solar maximum of 2001. This allows us to study the variations of the line profiles with solar activity. Methods. These line profiles were used to derive line shifts and line widths in the interplanetary medium for various an...
متن کاملLatitudinal properties of the Lyman α and O VI profiles in the extended solar corona
We have analysed the latitudinal properties of the profiles of the H I Lyman α line at 1215.6 ˚ A and of the O VI doublet at 1031.9 ˚ A and 1037.6 ˚ A in the extended solar corona, between 1.5 R and 2.0 R. Observations have been performed with the UltraViolet Coronagraph Spectrometer (UVCS) on board the ESA-NASA solar satellite SOHO (SOlar and He-liospheric Observatory). The results show that t...
متن کاملSMALL COMETS' IMPLICATIONS FOR INTERPLANETARY LYMAN a
If small comets are as numerous in the inner solar system as Prank et al. [1986a] have recently proposed, large and easily detectable amounts of hydrogen would be generated in interplanetary space. Inhibition of water vapor production by a factor of 3 x 10 -9 by very thick dust mantles would be necessary to prevent excitation of a detectable interplanetary Lyman a glow. Other optical problems a...
متن کاملOn the Lyman α and Lyman β lines in solar coronal streamers
Aims. We investigate the formation of the H Lyman α and Lyman β lines in an equatorial coronal streamer. Particular attention is paid to frequency redistribution for the scattering of the incident radiation. The properties of the spectral lines are studied. Methods. The coronal model is given by a global 2.5-D three fluid solar wind model with α particles. The emergent intensities and line pr...
متن کاملHydrogen Lyman−α and Lyman−β spectral radiance profiles in the quiet Sun
Aims. We extend earlier work by studying in the quiet Sun the line profiles of the hydrogen Lyman-α and Lyman-β lines, which were obtained quasi-simultaneously in a raster scan with a size of about 150 × 120 near disk center. Methods. The self-reversal depths of the Ly−α and Ly−β profiles are quantified by measuring the maximum spectral radiances of the two horns and the minimum spectral radian...
