Description
White-light images, centered at λ6708A, were obtained at the
Swedish Solar Telescope, La Palma, on occasion of the 1994 May 10
partial solar eclipse. From the recorded information, 5 frames showing
several pores together with the moon's limb were selected for detailed
photometric analysis. The observed intensity profile of the moon's limb
projected against the solar disk was used to derive, from each frame,
the Point Spread Function of the atmosphere + instrument to restore the
images. The characteristics of the obtained PSFs -low noise and precise
determination of the wings far away from the core- enabled us to avoid
arbitrary assumptions about analytical approximations. The FWHM of these
functions was typically 0.47". Several bright features were identified
in one of the pores. After determining the photometric parameters of
these fine umbral structures their link with the population of the
bright features in the umbra of evolved spots is discussed in the
framework of the dependence of sunspot properties on the spot size.
