SDO/HMI Continuum, 45-Second Data
Listed in NASA Data Portal
The HMI continuum data refers to map of the continuum intensity of the solar spectrum in the region of the Fe I absorption line at 6173 Å on the surface of the sun.
Description
HMI samples the Fe I absorption line at 6173.3 Å at six points. Assuming that the "pure" solar Fe I line profile is a Gaussian, and the HMI filter filter transmission profiles are delta functions, the first and second Fourier coefficients of the of the Fe I line can be calculated and an estimate of the Doppler Velocity can be made.
An estimate (proxy) for the continuum intensity Ic is obtained by "reconstructing" the solar line from the estimates of the Doppler shift λo, the linewidth σ, and the linedepth Id. More details can be found at jsoc.stanford.edu/relevant_papers/observables.pdf.
