FLURRY OF HAO ACTIVITY ACCOMPANIES SOLAR ACTIVITY

It is a rare occurrence when a division has fourseparate complementary observational programs goingon all at once. For the High Altitude Observatory(HAO), the plans of many years came together inFebruary, when its coronagraph/polarimeter waslaunched aboard the NASA Solar Maximum Mission (SMM)satellite, an expedition traveled to India to recorda total eclipse, a joint HAO/Harvard rocket corona-graph experiment was flown during the eclipse period,and the new K-coronameter/prominence monitor solarobserving system went into action at the Mauna Loaobserving station in Hawaii. "These efforts were theresult of plans which began as long ago as 1970,following the last period of maximum solar activity.The particular recent successes were a result ofefforts to obtain sets of observations suitable forintercomparison and intercalibration," said HAOdirector, Robert MacQueen.

SotacL Maximuwn Mission

At least ten HAO staff members are involved inthe Solar Maximum Mission coronagraph/polarimeterexperiment, which is headquartered at Goddard SpaceFlight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt, Maryland. TheSolar Maximum Mission, a collaborative effort amongscientists of many countries, is aimed primarily atunderstanding solar flares and other active phenomena(see Staff Note,6, 22 February). The crucial part ofthe mission for HAO came about a week after the 14February satellite launch, when scientists turned onthe high-voltage detector (vidicon tube), whichworked perfectly. The detector records measurementsof the solar atmosphere and dumps them to groundstations during satellite overpasses.

Principal investigator Lewis House, who is atGSFC, said, "We're running on every satellite daylightorbit and getting 250 images a day. We've seen sometransient events in the corona (the sun's outer atmo-sphere) and are looking forward to getting the pro-cessed data on them back from Boulder soon. Oneadvantage of our satellite system is the ability torepoint the instrument aboard the satellite in orderto pick up important events in virtually real time."The staff at GSFC are working long hours to keep upwith the flood of data coming in.

Lew said that the sun had been relatively quietuntil around 27 March, when they saw two large flares

in one day. His group is trying to track down thetransient events that are the response of the solarcorona to flare activity. They are also attemptingto collect a long-term synoptic view of the coronaon a very fine time scale.

The satellite experiment, which was built byBall Aerospace Division in Boulder, is being com-plemented by ground-based observations at Hawaii;Sacramento Peak Observatory, New Mexico; Nanqay Ob-servatory, France; and Culgoora Observatory,Australia.

HAO staff members in residence at Goddard forthe duration of the mission (about one year), inaddition to Lew, are Rose Reynolds, Adam Csoeke-Poeckh, Constance Sawyer, Harold TePoel, and WilliamWagner. Other HAD staff (Earnest Hildner, AndrewStanger, Robert Lee) will travel back and forth be-tween NCAR and Goddard, and Thomas Blaschko is sta-tioned in Boulder for the experiment period.

New Observing System at Mauna Loa

Richard Fisher, who heads the solar observingsystem program at HAO's Mauna Loa observing station,is in Boulder to check on the reduction of data fromthe new Mark III K-coronameter and prominence monitor.Dick, Mauna Loa observing station manager CharlesGarcia, Eric Yasukawa, Paul Seagraves, and GregoryMuir began to set up the station about a year agoand, along with new observer Christine Rock, now

W operate the instruments at the 11,400 ft (3,480 m)level of Mauna Loa, one of the two active Hawaiianvolcanoes.

"Mauna Loa offers 250 days a year of good observ-ing weather because of the local meteorological con-ditions and because is is so far from sources ofpollution," Dick said, explaining why the investiga-tors make the 1.5 h, 55 mi daily trek from Hilo tothe summit of Mauna Loa.

The prominence monitor, one of the two telescopesin the system, began functioning in November 1979,and the Mark III was partly operational in December.The project then suffered several setbacks, mostnotably a rain/wind storm in January that batteredthe station with 90 kt winds and dumped 5.5 in. ofrain in a short period, damaging the station. A"rescue mission" consisting of Loren Laramore andHoward Hull was dispatched to help with repairs. By11 February, the system was working again and hadcollected five days' worth of good data. It providedinformation for pointing the Harvard/HAO rocket in-strument during its flight on 16 February, and tookmeasurements on the days before and after the totalsolar eclipse on 16 February. (The eclipse tookplace at night, Hawaii time, so the precise time oftotality itself was not monitored.)

The two Mauna Loa telescopes meet and overlapthe Solar Maximum Mission satellite's field of view

* and are supporting that experiment as well "Sincewe can see down low (near the solar surface) andthe SMM instrument can't, if we see a transientevent, we can call them and point it out," Dick added.

Frank Everts and Arthur Poland are checking thatthe Mauna Loa data are processed by the CRAY-l com-puter and archived properly on film using the Dicomedgraphic device. Digital values of the solar lightintensities, high-density regions of the corona, andactive regions can be recovered from the film, whichhas a special calibration key in each frame, using amicrodensitometer. Art says that "difference" pic-tures are also being made of selected shots to helpdetect changes occurring between one time and another."The data are going through the CRAY very fast," Dicksaid. "We're now running even [keeping up] and havedata from measurements taken only ten days ago."

EctLip6e Expedicton to India

An HAO eclipse research project was one ofseveral NSF- and NASA-supported experiments conductedon 16 February, when the moon moved between the sunand the earth to create a total solar eclipse. LeonLacey of HAO and John Streete of Southwestern AtMemphis were two of about 50 NSF-sponsored investi-gators who traveled to India to be in the moon'sshadow (the eclipse was not visible anywhere inNorth America).

This eclipse was of particular interest becauseit occurred during a maximum in the sun's Hl-yearsunspot cycle, when solar flares and other activityare at a peak. Lee and Jack set up a special camera

The totae soZat ecip6e o6 16 Februaty 1980, photo-graphed at Patem, India, (Photo by Lee Lacey of theHigh Attude Observatory and Jack Srt'eete of South-westem At Memphiz.)

at Palem, India, to photograph the corona in redlight--6400 A--through a radially graded filter thatsuppresses the bright light of the inner corona inorder to show the much fainter streamers of the outercorona in the same photograph. The f/15 instrumentwas developed by Gordon Newkirk of HAO and has an11.1 cm objective aperture; it has been used forseveral successful eclipse observations, in 1966,1970, and 1973.

Three polarizing filters at 1200 angles to eachother yielded information on the polarization oflight from the sun at those three angles andobtained radiance values from which the intensity ofthe corona can be inferred. A microdensitometerwill measure the densities of the film negative, andthese will be correlated with the location and angleof the filters.

Jack reported that the weather was good at Palemand the instrument worked perfectly. He will visitNCAR beginning in June to work on the data analysis.Lee, a veteran of many eclipse expeditions, was incharge of operation of the camera. He developed thephotographs the instrument took and has producedsome beautiful specimens. The corona, during a periodof maximum solar activity, is fairly uniform in diam-eter, as contrasted with the pronounced streamersand "empty" spots (bow tie pattern) that appearduring a solar minimum eclipse. The photo shownhere reveals a great deal of coronal structure, suchas loops, as well as the particularly bright spotscalled prominences.

The eclipse photos will provide valuable cali-bration and reference information for the SolarMaximum Mission coronagraph/polarimeter, the Mark IIIK-coronameter, and the Harvard/HAO rocket package.

Hatvad/HAO Rocket Experiment

"We're all in high spirits around here," RichardMunro said in reference to the HAO experiments con-ducted in February. Dick is a principal investigatorfor the HAO portion of a joint Harvard/HAO corona-graph experiment flown aboard a rocket on 16 Februaryat White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. Therocket payload consisted of an HAO white-lightcoronagraph and a Harvard ultraviolet coronagraph.

It was the second space trip for the instruments,which had been flown the previous April to surveythe solar corona from 1.5 to 3 solar radii for stablecoronal features--equatorial background corona and apolar "coronal hole." The instruments measured thecorona's temperature, density, and flow velocity.

The quiet corona at these heights is much hotterthan at its base near the solar surface (about 2.5 x106 K at 2 solar radii). On the first rocket flight,Munro and collaborators at Harvard College Observatorywere particularly interested in the region wherecoronal temperatures reach a maximum; they are search-ing for the mechanism that heats the corona. Theyalso measured temperatures in a coronal hole, a re-gion where the corona is extremely thin, believed tobe the source of the high-speed solar wind. Thesurvey flight showed the investigators which measure-ments might prove useful for following flights.

The rocket payload was recovered, refurbished(dirt, flowers, and bugs removed), and realigned afterthe first flight. The HAO coronagraph was sent toHarvard College Observatory in December 1979 for in-tegration with their instrument, and the package wasreturned to White Sands for a second flight. Athird flight in June 1981 is also planned.

The Harvard instrument makes small "window"-typeobservations at steps outward from the solar center,and the HAO instrument encompasses the other's fieldof view. The instruments, which both create their ownartificial eclipses using occulting edges to blockthe solar disk, must be signaled to point at thecorrect angle to catch particular features such assolar streamers. Dick kept in touch with the Mark IIIK-coronameter in Hawaii and the Naval Research Labora-tory during prelaunch activities to be informed ofpromising regions that could be considered stableduring this time.

The rocket was launched about 7 h after thenatural total solar eclipse, which occurred at nightin New Mexico, and should provide valuable data onsolar conditions on the day of the eclipse. Afterseveral delays to wait for calmer wind conditions,the rocket was fired in a southerly direction tocompensate for the northerly winds. It rose to analtitude of about 280 km during its 10 min flight andtouched earth 145 km downrange. Dick said that thecylindrical payload is fairly heavy (about 270 kg)and had to be brought back through the atmospheresideways before the parachute opened, to keep it fromplummeting to the ground with the parachute under-neath or ripping the parachute off the top.

In addition to Dick Munro, HAO staff working onthe rocket experiments include Loren Laramore, LynnSchick, Stephen Rogers, William Bradley, DianeFriend, and Richard Case. Harvard scientific inves-tigators are William Parkinson (principal investigator),John Kohl, George Withbroe, Heinz Weiser, and RobertNoyes. The scientists are working quickly to refur-bish the package and analyze the eclipse data withthe other HAO observations before the next flight in1981. * JR

ANNOUNCEMENTS

APRIL ART EXHIBIT

For the month of April, watercolors by SybilMoschetti and drawings by her daughter, Tina McNew,will be on exhibit in the second floor gallery ofthe Mesa Laboratory. A native of Colorado, Moschettihas lived in Boulder since the 1930s; McNew was bornin Boulder and now lives in Montrose, Colorado.

Moschetti's watercolors have been exhibited inover twenty different shows throughout Colorado.She has won several awards for her paintings, includ-ing a first prize from the Boulder Art Association.Much of the inspiration for her work comes fromColorado landscapes, which she paints directly fromnature. She also does large studio abstracts inwatercolor, acrylic, and collage. Her works areshown regularly at the Mustard Seed Gallery inBoulder. 4

McNew's interest in art was kindled early by herartist mother. After earning a B.A. in studio artfrom Colorado College, she worked several years asthe artistic director of the Colorado Outdoor Educa-tion Center, where she taught pottery and art. McNewalso produces sculpture, some of which has wonprizes and which is included in private collectionsthroughout the United States.
