Two-dimensional speckle spectroscopy of H alpha features

Abstract

In May 2002, the solar chromosphere was observed with a two-dimensional spectrometer which is mounted in the German Vacuum Tower Telescope (VTT) at the Observatorio del Teide/Tenerife. The aim of this observation was to investigate the fine structure of the solar chromosphere seen in Halpha..We took narrow-band filtergrams (Deltalambda approximate to 72 mAngstrom) by scanning through this line. broad-band images taken strictly simultaneously with the narrow-band filtergrams were restored by speckle methods. The instantaneous optical transfer function from this restoration procedure was used for the reconstruction of the narrow-band images. Some results of this high spatial resolution observation are presented below.
