Abstract

X; I HAVE not yet done with the spot-spectrum referred to in last article. Not only is there general absorption, but there are indications of increased selective absorption in the case of the line D, as I could also show if I were dealing with the iron lines, the magnesium lines, or the other well-known lines of the solar spectrum. Not only, then, have we a general absorption, increasing as the middle of the sunspot is approached, but this sodium line D is also thickened, so that we have, as a result of a single examination of a single sunspot, the fact that a sunspot is due to general absorption, plus special absorption in some particular lines.
