Description
From high-resolution CCD images of granulation obtained at the Swedish Solar Tower of the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos at different positions on the solar disk, mean bi-dimensional spatial power spectra have been obtained at each position and restored following the method proposed by Rodriguez Hidalgo et al. (1990). The variation with latitude of the power spectrum, of the granular brightness contrast and of the mean wave number of the power spectrum are presented. The analysis is completed with spectroscopic observations obtained at the Gregory Coude Telescope of the Observatorio del Teide. The center-to-limb and latitudinal variation of the bisectors, residual intensities and equivalent widths are shown for several photometric lines.
