Sensitivity of the MnI 539.47 nm spectral line to solar activity

Abstract

CCD observations of the MnI 539.47 nm spectral line in the solar flux made at the Astronomical Observatory in Belgrade between 1994 and 2003 have been reduced and certain line parameters, viz. the equivalent width, full width at half maximum and central depth have been derived. The variation of these parameters with the solar activity has been evaluated. The relative variation of the equivalent width from minimum to maximum of solar activity was found to be 1.4%, while the variation of the central depth is 2.3%. The full width at half maximum remains practically constant.
