Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, we analyze the physical properties of dark mottles in the chromospheric network using two‐dimensional spectroscopic observations in Hα obtained with the Göttingen Fabry‐Perot Spectrometer in the Vacuum Tower Telescope at the Observatory del Teide, Tenerife. Cloud modeling was applied to measure the mottles' optical thickness, source function, Doppler width, and line‐of‐sight velocity. Using these measurements, the number density of hydrogen atoms in levels 1 and 2, total particle density, electron density, temperature, gas pressure, and mass density parameters were determined with the method of Tsiropoula & Schmieder (1997). We also analyzed the temporal behaviour of a mottle using cloud parameters. Our result shows that it is dominated by 3 minute signals in source function, and 5 minutes or more in velocity (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
