THE SOLAR SPECTRUM BETWEEN 914-A AND 1177-A

We present a spectral line list with wavelengths and identifications for the 914-1177 angstrom region. The list is based on a Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) solar spectrum obtained from a rocket flight in 1966 and on spectra recorded by the NRL S082-B slit spectrograph flown in 1973 on the Skylab manned space station as part of the Apollo Telescope Mount. Three Skylab spectra were used for this work: a limb spectrum recorded at a position of 2" outside the white-light limb, and two flare spectra. The wavelength list should be useful in analyzing some spectra to be obtained from the planned National Aeronautics and Space Administration Lyman Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer mission. We also present a separate table listing observed or predicted forbidden lines that fall in the 914-1177 angstrom range, and we discuss some of the plasma diagnostic possibilities for spectral lines in this range.
