✦ Synopsis
A multiple entrance slit spectrograph was built for time-lapse photography of the spectra of flares and other transient solar phenomena. This spectrograph employs narrow-band filters to limit the wavelength range of the spectrograph to several angstroms centered at Hc~ or other spectral lines. The passband of the filter, and the dispersion of the spectrograph determine the number of parallel slits through which light may be passed to achieve multiple adjacent spectral displays. By using a 7 A~ filter, a dispersion of 10.8 A_ mm -1, and 35 mm film, adjacent Hc~ spectra are imaged from 30 parallel slits. A system of mirrors and relay lenses transfers the slitjaw image to the same film plane as the spectral image. A 2 frame camera is used to simultaneously record both images on adjacent frames. Filtering of the reference spatial image to 1.0 A, allows the observer to see the position of the slits relative to the Hc~ centerline structure and to match the brightness of the spatial image to the spectral display. A polarizing beamsplitter, prior to the slits, provides a prefiltered second solar image to a narrow band Hc~ Doppler filter for simultaneous photography in the wings of the Hc~ line. The multislit monochromatic spectrograph and Ha Doppler system constitute a flexible instrument in which components may be substituted to achieve different passbands width, image scales, dispersions and corresponding numbers and spacings of adjacent spectra at a selected wavelength.
