Intensity Distribution in the Lyman-α Line at the Solar Limb

  • Chapter
Ultraviolet Stellar Spectra and Related Ground-Based Observations

Part of the book series: International Astronomical Union / Union Astronomique Internationale ((IAUS,volume 36))

Abstract

The distribution of the solar intensity in the Lyman α line has been measured close to the visible limb. It is compared to a computation including LTE departures (as evaluated by Y. Cuny). As far as the profile of the line and the intensity (integrated over the line) are concerned, the inter-spicular model of Coates is the only one which seems to agree with the observations.
