Apr 17-22, NAOJ Dopplergram from Filtergram (FG) Observation Y. Katsukawa (NAOJ) SOT Team

Apr 17-22, NAOJ2 SOT Dopplergrams (DGs) Narrowband Filter Imager (NFI) on SOT provides Dopplergrams (DGs) which are images of Doppler (line-of-sight) velocities. Observations with DGs are critically important in studies of photospheric dynamics and helioseismology. The primary photospheric line used for DGs is Fe I 5576 Å which is a line insensitive to the Zeeman effect (Lande g=0). FOV: 80”x160” (1Kx2K) for no summing 320”x160” (2Kx1K) for 2x2 summing 4 uniform wavelength samplings are a standard observable. It takes about 12 secs to make one Dopplergram. 1   30m/s for 2x2 summ. Two wavelength sampling is also available when higher temporal resolution is required.

Apr 17-22, NAOJ3 5576A 4-wavelengths Dopplergrams The nominal wavelength sampling for 5576A F1: -90mA, F2: -30mA, F3: +30mA, F4: +90mA Up to   3km/s velocities are detectable by this sampling. The velocity index R is calculated using the 4 images In order to reduce the telemetry amount, the denominator and the numerator are calculated on-board, and sent to the ground. Denominator: F1-F2-F3+F4Numerator: F1+F2-F3-F4 DG obtained at Palo Alto in April, 2005

Apr 17-22, NAOJ4 5576A 4-wavelengths Dopplergrams Fe I 5576A spectrum and the transmission profiles of TF at 4 wavelength positions. The relation between the actual Doppler velocities V and the velocity indexes R are calculated using the ideal TF profiles and the atlas spectrum. The Doppler velocities are derived from the velocity indexes R using LUT. QS Umbra

Apr 17-22, NAOJ5 Quantitative evaluation of DGs The data used here were obtained by FPP in April 19-20, 2005 at Palo Alto. 2x2 summing mode, 1Kx1K partial images Magnification is different from the actual telescope, and the solar diameter is around 600 pixels (1/3 of full FOV). The Doppler velocity is evaluated along the latitudinal lines at 0,  30 , and  60 . Raw data of FG Dopplergram Velocity index (R)

Apr 17-22, NAOJ8 The velocity profiles exhibit linear dependence on positions along the longitudinal lines as expected. The velocities of the solar rotation obtained by FPP are roughly consistent with the expected one. Systematic difference is  200m/s But there is time variation in the obtained velocity, and the deviation from the theoretical prediction is about 400m/s in the worst case.

Apr 17-22, NAOJ10 Effect of the intensity ripple on DGs The intensity ripple can be reproduced by including errors in the wide field elements of the calcite blocks in TF. The relation between the velocity indexes and the Doppler velocities is reexamined using the TF profiles including the ripple. The deviation from the ideal case is  1 km/s in the worst case. Ideal with ripple difference Ideal with ripple difference

Apr 17-22, NAOJ11 Errors caused by I-ripple and satellite revolution Fine tuning of the wavelength against solar originated absorption lines is important for deriving physical parameters from the obtained data by NFI. Adjustment of TF wavelength is performed in FPP by using Doppler velocities value calculated in MDP. The largest velocity is caused by the revolution of the satellite around the earth. The maximum velocity is 3.9 km/s in a period of about 95mins. In the worst case, about 1 km/s velocity offset is produced by the intensity ripple. Simulated error of the Doppler velocities caused by the intensity ripple and the Doppler motion of the satellite.

Apr 17-22, NAOJ12 FOV non-uniformity Full-FOV DG with 2x2 summing The solar diameter is 1.5 times larger than FOV Velocity profiles along the latitudinal lines show relatively large FOV non-uniformity than expected.

Apr 17-22, NAOJ13 Calibration of the intensity ripple When the intensity ripple is caused by the halfwave plates in the calcite blocks, the intensity modulation can be represented as a function of the motor positions (provided by encoders) of the tuning elements.
