| 内容記述 | We discuss recent observations of the fundamental vibration-rotation transitions of carbon monoxide (CO) in the solar infrared spectrum. Employing a new array detector at the McMath-Pierce facility on Kitt Peak we find that the CO lines sketch a rich picture of the dynamics of the solar temperature minimum region, the lower boundary of the chromosphere. In a spectra-spectroheliogram and a time-sequence of the slit-spectra obtained during exceptional seeing conditions we observe small-scale bright, ring shaped, blueshifted features. We speculate that they are the signature of granular overshoot into the convectively stable temperature minimum. The centers of the rings are among the coolest elements seen in strong CO-line heliograms on the disk, and may be instrumental to the low temperature observed in CO close to the solar limb. |
