Investigation on the solar spectrum using Blackbody Radiation Inversion

Solar and Stellar Astrophysics 2021-04-09 v1 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

The probability distribution of temperature of a blackbody can be determined from its power spectrum. This technique is called blackbody radiation inversion. In the present paper blackbody radiation inversion is applied on the spectrum of the Sun. The probability distribution of temperature and the mean temperature of the Sun are calculated without assuming a homogenous temperature and without using Stefan-Boltzmann law. Different properties of this distribution are characterized. This paper presents the very first mention and investigation of the distortions present within the Sun's spectrum.
