The image sequences are from 11 and 12 June 1997.

Data from 11 June 1997

A 5-hour (516 frames) time series of co-spatial and co-temporal 430.5 nm G-band and 436.4 nm continuum filtergrams, obtained on 11 June 1997 with the 50 cm Swedish Vacuum Solar Telescope on the island of La Palma, Spain.

The 44×80 arc second field-of-view (FOV) includes the large pore AR8050 at N28 E25. The mean time between frames is 36 s. Each frame is a Phase-Diverse Speckle (PDS; see Löfdahl & Scharmer 1994; Paxman et al. 1996) restoration of three realizations of the atmospheric turbulence acquired rapidly in sequence. The result is high-resolution movies of the solar photosphere. The process of wavefront sensing and restoration of the data is described by Löfdahl et al. (2001).

Data from 12 June 1997

A similar, 8-hour (709 frames) sequence from 12 June 1997. (Not yet available.)
