Faculae, prominences & filaments in 1929-1944
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
The Astronomical Observatory of the University of Coimbra (Portugal) published a catalog with solar observations such as sunspots, faculae, prominences, and filaments for the period 1929-1944.
Description
In previous works, a machine-readable version on sunspot observations made in Coimbra was published. Here we extend that work and present a digital version of the facula, prominence, and filament observations made in that observatory.
We have applied a quality control to the catalog, obtaining that the percentage of problematic or suspicious data found is lower than 1% of the total number of observations. In addition, we show an analysis of this catalog, as well as some comparisons between solar indices calculated from Coimbra data and those from other sources. Historical observations of faculae, prominences, and filaments are not as common as sunspot records, and in addition, few historical series of these solar features are available in digital version.

For that reason, the catalog of solar observations published by the Coimbra Observatory is of enormous value. The recovery, publication, and availability of this catalog provide the scientific community with a valuable data set of solar characteristics that will help us to study in more detail the past solar magnetic field and long-term solar activity.
