398-710nm Sun spectral atlases

In this work, we present digital and graphical atlases of spectra of both the solar disk-center and of the limb near the Solar poles using data taken at the UTS-IAP & RIAAM (the University of Tabriz Siderostat, telescope and spectrograph jointly developed with the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris and Research Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics of Maragha). High resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) CCD-slit spectra of the sun for 2 different parts of the disk, namely for {mu}=1.0 (solar center) & for {mu}=0.3 (solar limb) are provided and discussed.

While there are several spectral atlases of the solar disk-center, this is the first spectral atlas ever produced for the solar limb at this spectral range. The resolution of the spectra is about R~70000 ({Delta}{lambda}~0.09{AA})} with the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 400-600. The full atlas covers the 3980 to 7100{AA} spectral regions and contains 44 pages with three partial spectra of the solar spectrum put on each page to make it compact.
