Coronagraphic observations of Si X 1430 nm acquired by DKIST/Cryo-NIRSP with methods for telluric absorption correction
arxiv(2024)
摘要
We report commissioning observations of the Si X 1430 nm solar coronal line
observed coronagraphically with the Cryogenic Near-Infrared Spectropolarimeter
(Cryo-NIRSP) at the National Science Foundation's Daniel K. Inouye Solar
Telescope (DKIST). These are the first known spatially resolved observations of
this spectral line, which has strong potential as a coronal magnetic field
diagnostic. The observations target a complex active region located on the
solar northeast limb on 4 March 2022. We present a first analysis of this data,
which extracts the spectral line properties through a careful treatment of the
variable atmospheric transmission that is known to impact this spectral window.
Rastered images are created and compared with EUV observations from the SDO/AIA
instrument. A method for estimating the electron density from the Si X
observations is then demonstrated that makes use of the forbidden line's
density-sensitive emissivity and an emission-measure analysis of the SDO/AIA
bandpass observations. In addition, we derive an effective temperature and
non-thermal line width across the region. This study informs the calibration
approaches required for more routine observations of this promising diagnostic
line.
