Abstract

High-resolution solar spectroscopy provides a wealth of information from photospheric and chromospheric spectral lines. However, the volume of data easily exceeds hundreds of millions of spectra on a single observation day. Therefore, methods are needed to identify spectral signatures of interest in multidimensional datasets. Background-subtracted activity maps (BaSAMs) have previously been used to locate features of solar activity in time series of images and filtergrams. This research note shows how this method can be extended and adapted to spectral data.
