Abstract
IPHIR (InterPlanetary Helioseismology by IRradiance measurements) is a solar irradiance experiment on the USSR planetary mission PHOBOS to Mars and its satellite Phobos. The experiment was built by an international consortium including PMOD/WRC, LPSP, SSD/ESA, KrAO and CRIP. The sensor is a three channel sunphotometer (SPM) which measures the solar spectral irradiance at 335, 500 and 865 nm with a precision of better than 1 part-per-million (ppm). It is the first experiment dedicated to the investigation of solar oscillations from space. The results presented here are from a first evaluation of data gathered during 160 days of the cruise phase of PHOBOS II, launched on July, 12th 1988. The long uninterrupted observation produces a spectrum of the solar p-mode oscillations in the 5-minute range with a very high signal-to-noise ratio, which allows an accurate determination of frequencies and line shapes of these modes.
