| Abstract: |
I review some of the recent high resolution solar spectroscopic results obtained from the Solar Ultraviolet Measurements of Emitted Radiation (SUMER) experiment flown on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). SOHO was launched in December, 1995 and has been returning a wealth of high quality solar data that is providing new insights into the physics of the solar atmosphere and the magnetic field in which it is embedded. This review is not unbiased, but is mostly a description of work carried out at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). First, I briefly discuss the SUMER spectrometer. Second, I discuss plasma dynamics results, i.e., results obtained from spectral line shapes, widths, and wavelength shifts. Third, I discuss plasma diagnostics results, i.e., temperatures, densities, etc. deduced from spectral line intensities and intensity ratios. |
