Y. Elsworth et al., TECHNIQUES USED IN THE ANALYSIS OF SOLAR OSCILLATIONS FROM THE BISON (UNIVERSITY-OF-BIRMINGHAM) NETWORK .1. DAILY CALIBRATION, Astronomy & Astrophysics. Supplement series, 113(2), 1995, pp. 379-386
In this, the first of a pair of linked papers, we discuss the methods
used to convert raw data from the BiSON network of resonant-scattering
spectrometers to velocity residuals, from which the low-degree, five-
minute solar oscillations are studied. We describe our standard calibr
ation and some alternative methods. The rejection of bad data, and the
corrections applied for unwanted low-frequency effects, are also disc
ussed.
