SUMER study #2216: Quiescent prominence

Line Table of Results ("main")

The following table shows

• line or continuum
• wavelength / Å
• log (line formation temperature / K); higher ions according to Landini and Monsignori-Fossi (1991) and Arnaud and Raymond (1992) (TBC). Neutrals estimated as 4.0 or 4.2 (Lyman lines); O I (originally estimated as 4.1), which could be influenced by O II (4.54), now estimated as 4.25.
• relative radiance increase measured as prominence radiance minus reference radiance, divided by reference radiance, averaged over a 7"-region. This region is around 32" above the limb for 04.Jul.00, and around 55" above the limb for 08.Jul.00. The same regions on 10.Jul.00 are taken as references. Radiances and line widths are calculated by Gauss fits of average profiles of the resp. intervals.
• total radiance / (mW sr^-1 m^-2 line^-1, or Å^-1, resp., for continuum). Absolute radiometric values are according to "epoch_9" and may still be updated.
• line width (FWHM) / Å
• Influences that make part of the data incomparable are marked with a reference number, with explanations at the bottom. These influences can be blends, especially in the very low signals of 10.Jul.00, or lines in second order, which are absorbed by Hydrogen. - H I Lyman lines from Ly4 to Ly19 are included now, except for Ly14, which is hopelessly blended. Ly15 and greater can hardly be distinguished from continuum in the no-prominence situation (10.Jul.00).
• At the right edge of the list, more information has been added by up to three links per line: the first link (named "rel", corresponding to relative radiance increase) shows radiance vs. distance from limb (left) for 04.Jul.00 in the upper row, for 08.Jul.00 in the lower row; the right side shows the radiance increase relative to the (smoothed) situation of 10.Jul.00.
• The second link (named "int", corresponding to intensity) shows the Gauss fits for 04.Jul.00 in the upper row and for 08.Jul.00 in the lower row, together with line radiance and line width parameters; the right half shows the corresponding situation for 10.Jul.00, basically to check the comparability of the radiance increase.
• The third link (named "dop", corresponding to Doppler shifts and widths) shows line center of gravity and standard deviation, measured in pixel, vs. distance from limb for 04.Jul.00 in the upper row, and for 08.Jul.00 in the lower row; this is basically to check possible influences on the line widths and to show the position of the averaged interval.
