Characterization of the Solar H-alpha Spectrum Using Lunt 50 mm Telescope with Pressure Tuning

In this work we present the study of the Lunt LS50 Hα telescope equipped with a CMOS QHY5LII-C camera and the capability of reconstructing the solar spectrum through full-disk images of the Sun at different pressure tuning steps of the telescope. Furthermore, specific solar regions and structures were analyzed to obtain a profile comparable to the expected Hα spectrum. This allows us to investigate important physical parameters, such as temperature and height of the studied structures.

Abstract

In this work we present the study of the Lunt LS50 Hα telescope equipped with a CMOS QHY5LII-C camera and the capability of reconstructing the solar spectrum through full-disk images of the Sun at different pressure tuning steps of the telescope. Furthermore, specific solar regions and structures were analyzed to obtain a profile comparable to the expected Hα spectrum. This allows us to investigate important physical parameters, such as temperature and height of the studied structures.
