2.2.2 spase://SMWG/Instrument/KSO/KANZ KANZ (VSO notation) 2012-04-04T00:00:00Z This instrument produces H-alpha solar imagery from Kanzelhoehe Solar Observatory (KSO), Austria. Its main purpose is a high precision full disk imaging of the photosphere in order to derive sunspot and faculae areas and positions as well. Other scientific objectives are studies of the underlying photosphere before, during and after chromospheric flares, hunting for the mystery white light flares at the begin of a new solar cycle and providing a data set for developing an automatic determination of sunspot relative numbers by image segmentation techniques. The obtained time series will also continue the support of the Debrecen Photoheliographic Data by daily synoptic images. The Kanzelhoehe Photosphere Telescope (KPT) is based on the Kanzelhöhe Photoheliograph (PhoKa) which went into operation in 1989 and was described in detail in Pettauer, T.: 1990, in L. Deszö (ed.), The Dynamic Sun, Publ. Debrecen Heliophysical Observatory, Debrecen, p. 62(1990).
