OBJECTIVE: Make 3D data cubes of full disk images of the Sun from slit scan data of SUMER

REPORT: This week I focused on starting to construct the 3D data cubes of the full disk images. In order to do so I had to get really, really familiar with how the slits were scanned across the sun. First step was getting the x and y position for dates: February 2, June 6 and June 17 (all in 1996). Getting the x and y positions allows us to initialize the size of the array. The plots belows show how the slits performed in the solar x and solar y direction. When it came time to start arranging the slits I ran into several problems in IDL; mostly due to the loop I created that was running through the rastor (array) was not pulling all data files and required A LOT of debugging.









CAPTION: x and y position plots for C IV
