LYMAN-ALPHA PHOTOMETER
Definition
- The Lyman alpha photometer (LAP) on board the SS-520-1 rocket, which was launched at sunset at 0830 UT on February 5, 1998, observed geocoronal H and D Lyman alpha emissions. The LAP has H and D abserption cells to measure H and D Lyman alpha emission separately. The width of Lyman alpha emission can be estimated by changing the optical depth of the cell by switching the filament current of each cell.
