The Prototype RISE-PSPT Instrument Operating in Rome

  • Conference paper
Solar Electromagnetic Radiation Study for Solar Cycle 22

Abstract

The breadboard prototype of the PSPT (Precision Solar Photometric Telescope), built by NSO at Sacramento Peak, has been operating in Rome since February 1996 to test observing procedures and future network operations. In this paper we briefly describe the kind of preliminary data we are deriving from the first observations concerning the contrast histogram and the fractal analysis of the ‘network cells.’

Paper presented at the SOLERS22 International Workshop, held at the National Solar Observatory, Sacramento Peak, Sunspot, New Mexico, USA, June 17–21, 1996.
