Description
The observation of a solar absorption line by means of resonant scattering over several months in the study of solar oscillations, yields data which may be analyzed to provide details of the line shape over the region being studied. The asymmetry and nonlinearity of the K 769.9 nm line are found and the effect on the overall response of the resonant scattering spectrometer is illustrated. Finally a simple second order correction term to the response function of the system is empirically found which greatly improves overall linearity.
