The photographs of the Sun obtained at Greenwich were taken w i t h the 4-inch Photoheliograph, of which the original object-glass had been replaced in 1910 by a Grubb photographic objective. The equivalent focal length of the photoheliograph with its present enlarging system (supplied in 1926 by Ross, L t d . ) is 67^ feet, the diameter of the Sun's image at the secondary focus being approximately 7^ inches. On 1949 May 2 this photoheliograph was moved from Greenwich to Herstmonceux Castle, Sussex. Subsequent photographs continue to be designated "Greenwich" photographs. The photographs of the Sun obtained at the Cape Observatory were taken under the superintendence of Her M a j e s t y ' s Astronomer at the Cape, Dr. R. H. Stoy, and those from Kodaikanal under the superintendence of the Director, Dr. A. K. Das. At the Cape Observatory the instrument employed was a 4-inch photoheliograph giving an image of the Sun about 7^ inches in diameter; at Kodaikanal a Cooke photo-visual o b j e c t i v e of 6 inches aperture was used, the image of the Sun which was obtained being of about the same size. Photographs of the Sun were available for measurement on 363 days in 1955, those finally selected for measurement being supplied by the different observatories as under: Greenwich 269 Kodaikanal Total 3 363 For the two missing days, copies of original solar negatives were kindly supplied by the Mount Wilson Observatory, California, and the Fraunhofer I n s t i t u t , Freiburg im Breisgau, Western Germany. The names of the measurers of the photographs for the year 1955 were as follows: H. Barton P. A. Wayman N. Rhodes P. S. Laurie A. S. Milsom Miss B. J. Denman At the p r i m a r y f o c u s of the photoheliographs at Greenwich and the Cape two spider-wires are fixed by which the zero of position-angles on the photographs can be determined. These wires are inclined at an angle of 45° to the celestial equator. In the K o d a i k a n a l instrume.nt there is one w i r e f i x e d p a r a l l e l to the e q u a t o r . IV INTRODUCTION то GREENWICH PHOTO.HELIOGRAPHIC RESULTS, 1955. The precise zero of position-angles for ^he photoheliographs has been determined by three different methods. (i) Zero Photographs. Plates were exposed twice, with an interval of about 100 seconds between the two exposures, the instrument being firmly clamped. Two images of the Sun, overlapping each other by about a fifth part of the Sun's diameter, were thus produced upon the plates. The exposures were so made that the line joining the cusps passed approximately through the centre of the plates and the inclinations of the two spider-wires to this line were measured. A small correction for the inclination of the Sun's path has been applied. Two or three zero photographs were usually taken each month at Greenwich, the Cape, and Kodaikanal. (ii) Transits. At Greenwich and the Cape, transits of the Sun were taken visually, the times of contact of the first and second limbs of the Sun with the two wires being noted by an eye-and-ear method. The ratio of the time taken by the Sun to pass over the NE - SW wire to the time taken to pass over the SE - NW wire was used in order to find the angle made by the Sun's path with the bisectors of the wires. From this, again incorporating a correction to allow for the inclination of the Sun's path, the orientation of the wires with respect to the N - S line could be inferred. Transits were usually taken at Greenwich and the Cape on four or more days during each month. (iii) Supplementary Zero Photographs. At Greenwich supplementary partial images of the Sun were occasionally recorded on otherwise normal photographs, a second exposure being made after clamping the instrument firmly for 130 seconds. The small portion of the Sun's limb visible at the western edge of the plate could be used, together with the main image which it does not intersect, to deduce the orientation of the wires in a way similar to that used for the zero photographs. Six to ten supplementary zero photographs were taken at Greenwich each month. The values for the zero of position-angles deduced from them were given half weight in the adoption of zero-corrections to be used in the reduction of photographs. The following table gives the zero-corrections determined by the various methods at Greenwich and the Cape during 1955, together with the adopted values.

The measures of the photographs were made with a large position-micrometer that can be used for photographs of the Sun up to 12 inches in diameter. In this micrometer the photograph is held with its film-side uppermost on three pillars fixed on a circular plate, which can be turned through a small angle about a pivot in its circumference by means of a screw and antagonistic spring acting at the opposite extremity of the diameter. The pivot of this plate is mounted on the circumference of another circular plate which can be turned by a similar screwaction about a pivot in its circumference. This pivot, 90° distant from that of the upper plate, is mounted on a third circular plate, with a position-circle graduated in divisions of 30 minutes of arc, which may be rotated about its centre. By this means small movements in two directions at right angles to each other can be readily given and the photograph can be accurately centred with respect to the centre of rotation of the position-circle. When this has been done, a Ramsden eyepiece, having at its anterior focus a glass diaphragm ruled with cross-lines into squares with sides of one hundredth of an inch (for measurement of areas), is moved along a slide adjusted so that the centre of the eyepiece moves diametrically across the photograph, the diaphragm being nearly in contact with the photographic film, so that parallax is negligible. The distance of a spot or facula from the centre of the disk is read from a scale and vernier to l/250th of an inch, corresponding to 0.001 of the Sun's radius for images 8 inches in diameter. The posit ion-angle is read from the large position-circle which rotates with the photographic plate. The photograph is illuminated by diffused light reflected from white paper placed at an angle of 45° below the photograph. All photographs were measured independently by two measurers. In the case of large or complex groups of spots, the chief components were measured individually; so also in the case of groups near to the east or west limbs of the Sun where the effects of foreshortening are appreciable. In other cases the position of the centre of a group was estimated by the measurer at the micrometer. In this respect a difference has been made from the practice during years prior to 1916 when, in the Daily Results (§1.), components of groups were given separately, and in the Ledgers (§3.) combination into groups was made. When required, corrections have been applied to the measured distances and position-angles to allow for differential refraction. The details of this correction L VI INTRODUCTION то GREENWICH PHOTO-HELIOGRAPHIC RESULTS, 1955. were given in the I n t r o d u c t i o n for 1909. It is necessary to apply t h i s c o r r e c t i o n to about twenty per cent of the photographs taken at Greenwich in the months October to March. §1. P o s i t i o n s and A r e a s of S u n s p o t s and F a c u l a e for e a c h Day in the Y e a r 1955. In t h i s section the measured p o s i t i o n s and areas of sunspots and faculae are given for each day. The positions of sunspots are referred f i r s t l y to a system of apparent polar co-ordinates on the Sun's d i s k and secondly to a system of heliographic co-ordinates. The p o s i t i o n s of faculae are g i v e n only in apparent polar co-ordinates. The calculations of heliographic longitude and l a t i t u d e are made from formulae given by W. de la Rue, B. Stewart and B. Loewy, P h i l . T r a n s . , 1869. The system of heliographic co-ordinates may be defined as follows. The i n c l i n a t i o n of the Sun's axis to the ecliptic is assumed to be 82°45', the longitude of the ascending node of the S u n ' s e q u a t o r on the e c l i p t i c for 1955.0 to be 75°07'. 9, and the p e r i o d of the Sun's sidereal rotation to be 25.38 days. The m e r i d i a n which passed through the ascending node on 1854 January 1, Greenwich mean noon, is taken as the zero meridian and longitudes increase from east to west. The mean synodic rotation-period is 27.2753 d a y s ; s y n o d i c r o t a t i o n - p e r i o d s are counted from 1853 November 9, in continuation of Carrington's series. Let r be the measured distance of a spot from the centre of the Sun's apparent disk and y the position-angle of the spot from the Sun's axis, R the measured radius of the Sun on the photograph, S the tabular semi-diameter of the Sun in arc, and p, p' the angular distances of a spot from the centre of the apparent d i s k , as viewed from the Sun's centre and from the Earth respectively. p - the heliocentric angle - is obtained from the following e q u a t i o n s : p' = -| S and sin (p + p' ) = I If Bo and Ф are the heliographic latitudes and L0 and X the heliographic longitudes of the Earth and the spot respectively, sin ф = cos p sin Bo + sin p cos Bo cos y sin (bo - X) = sin y sin p sec Ф у is found from the position-angle measured eastwards from the north point of the Sun's disk by subtracting P, the position-angle of the north end of the Sun's axis also measured eastwards from the north point. The three quantities P, Bo and Lo for the time of the exposure of each photograph are derived from the Ephemeris for Physical Observations of the Sun, given on p. 340 of the Nautical Almanac for 1955. §2. General Catalogue of Groups of Sunspots for 1955. This catalogue first contains particulars of every group of sunspots which Lasted for two or more days during 1955. The group numbers are in continuation of those given in 1954 and previous years; the Mount Wilson group numbers are also given. The table includes an indication of those groups which may be considered to be members of "recurrent series" of groups, as contained in Ledger I below (§3.). Spot groups seen on one day only are given in a separate table, where they receive a distinctive numeration. С vu INTRODUCTION то GREENWICH PHOTO-HELIOGRAPHIC RESULTS, 1955. "Revival" groups of apots have been tabulated in series in a table the General Catalogue. §3. following Ledgers of the Areas and H e l i o g r a p h i e P o s i t i o n s of Groups of Sunspots for 1955. The groups of w h i c h d e t a i l s are given in these ledgers have been a b s t r a c t e d from a general ledger of all spot groups seen throughout the year. Apart from the groups, there are printed in a similar manner d e t a i l s of i n d i v i d u a l components of the principal groups. This has been done in all cases where it appeared probable that an i n d i v i d u a l component l a s t e d to the second or t h i r d r o t a t i o n a f t e r its f i r s t appearance. Ledger I. - R e c u r r e n t Groups. The groups contained in this ledger were selected upon the f o l l o w i n g plan, reference b e i n g made to the General Catalogue:- If any spot when f i r s t seen was 60° or more to the east of the central m e r i d i a n , the catalogue and, if necessary, the Daily Results also (§1.), were searched some f i f t e e n to sixteen days e a r l i e r to ascertain whether a spot group of s i m i l a r h e l i o g r a p h i c longitude and latitude was then near the west limb o-f the Sun. Similarly, if any spot group when last seen was 60° or more to the west of the central m e r i d i a n , a search was made f i f t e e n to sixteen days later. When there appeared to be a case of probable continuity between groups in consecutive rotations of the Sun, the character of the groups, t h e i r areas and t h e i r longitude and l a t i t u d e have been c a r e f u l l y compared before a c c e p t i n g them as a recurrent group. Ledger II. - Non-Recurrent Groups. This ledger contains those groups lasting for six days or longer w h i c h are not members of recurrent series. §4. Total Areas, Mean Areas and Mean H e l i o g r a p h i c L a t i t u d e s of Sunspots and Faculae in the Year 1955. This section contains total areas of sunspots and faculae for each day in the year, together w i t h mean areas and mean h e l i o g r a p h i c l a t i t u d e s of sunspots and faculas for each Rotation of the Sun during 1955. Similar annual mean values are also given. §5. O b s e r v a t i o n s of Solar F i l a m e n t s and S o l a r F l a r e s made w i t h the S p e c t r o h e l i o s c o p e s in the Year 1955. This s e c t i o n c o n t a i n s (l) measures of l i n e - o f - s i g h t v e l o c i t i e s of dark Ha. filaments seen on the Sun's disk near sunspots and (2) observations of solar flares in Hen light. The observations were made p r i n c i p a l l y w i t h a spectrohelioscope lent by the Mount Wilson Observatory in the autumn of 1929 and set up at Greenwich in the south a t t i c of the Main B u i l d i n g and, since 1950 February, at Herstmonceux in a spectrohelioscope room forming the ground floor of the dome housing the photoheliograph. The instrument is of a type described by G. E. Hale in the A s t r o p h y s i c a l J o u r n a l , 70, 265, 1929. The spectrum is formed by a Rowland g r a t i n g ruled w i t h 14,438 lines to the inch. The f i r s t order spectrum around Ясс is normally used, the scale being 1 mm. - 4.35 A. The w i d t h of the second s l i t is usually 0.1 mm. The diameter of the monochromatic image of the Sun's disk at the second s l i t is about 50 mm., of w h i c h a p o r t i o n 28 mm. x 6 mm. is rendered v i s i b l e by the r o t a t i o n rectangular prisms. The e y e p i e c e used g i v e s an o v e r a l l m a g n i f i c a t i o n of x40, approximately. A second spectrohelioscope of similar design, presented in 1949 by Mr. A. M. Newbegin, is also available when required so that simultaneous observations can be made by two observers. The observations during 1955 were made by H. Barton, P. S. Laurie and N. Rhodes.

Blank page retained for pagination ROYAL GREENWICH OBSERVATORY General Catalogue of Groups of Sunspots For the year 1955 G R E E N W I C H PHOTO-HELIOGRAPHIC RESULTS, 1955 GENERAL CATALOGUE OP GROUPS OP SUNSPOTS POR THE YEAR 1955. Groups of s u n s p o t s , l a s t i n g for two or more d a y s , are n u m b e r e d in the f i r s t column in continuation of the group-numbers given in 1954 and the previous years. Groups seen only once are not included in this catalogue but are given with a distinctive numeration in a following table on p. С 45. The second column gives the corresponding Mount W i l s o n group number, as i d e n t i f i e d from the bi-monthly summaries of the Mount W i l s o n magnetic observations of sunspots p u b l i s h e d in P u b l i c a t i o n s of the A s t r o n o m i c a l S o c i e t y of the P a c i f i c . The third column gives the U.T. of the central meridian passage of each group as deduced from its mean longitude (given in the e l e v e n t h column). For those groups which are in existence at the time of the central meridian passage of their longitude, the time is given to OrOl, corresponding to 0.13 of solar longitude. In other cases, in which groups disappear before or appear after the central meridian, the deduced time is given to 0.1. The fourth column gives which are not seen upon the are indicated by a fraction, are actually observed, the of observation. the duration of each group in days. Intermittent groups, i . e . , groups photographs of every day between their f i r s t and last appearances, the numerator of which represents the number of days on which they denominator being the number of days covering the extreme limits The s i x t h and e i g h t h columns, headed "Longitude from central meridian", give, for the days on which each group was f i r s t and l a s t seen r e s p e c t i v e l y , the h e l i o g r a p h i c l o n g i t u d e f r o m the meridian passing through the centre of the Sun's disk at the time of observation, longitudes west of the centre being reckoned as positive. The mean areas for umbrae and whole spots entered in the n i n t h and t e n t h columns are corrected for the e f f e c t of foreshortening and are expressed in millionths of the Sun's v i s i b l e hemisphere. The e l e v e n t h and t w e l f t h columns give the mean heliographic position of the group in longitude and latitude respectively. The t h i r t e e n t h column gives reference to all groups contained in L e d g e r I and Ledger II; for a group in Ledger I both its recurrent series number and its order in the series are also given. W i t h r e f e r e n c e to the i d e n t i f i c a t i o n both of recurrent and revival groups, it should be noted that longitudes are based on the ephemeris given in the H a u t i c a l A l m a n a c , assuming a solar rotation period constant at all latitudes. After an interval of one rotation, recurring groups w i l l , t h e r e f o r e , show in general - apart f r o m any proper motion they may have of their own apparent d r i f t s in longitude v a r y i n g in amount according to their respective latitudes. The following table, derived from the f o r m u l a Ë, = 14°37 - 2?60 sin 2 Ф, gives the apparent d r i f t in longitude appropriate to d i f f e r e n t l a t i t u d e s a f t e r an i n t e r v a l of 27 days, a d r i f t f o r w a r d s corresponding to an increase in heliographic longitude.

When a 'Recurrent' series i.e. Ledger I forms part of a 'Revival' series, a reference is given in the last column of the table. Groups that are given in detail in Ledger II are also indicated.

LEDGER ï. - RECURRENT GROUPS LEDGER n. - NON-RECURRENT GROUPS The time (U. T. ) at which, the photograph was taken is expressed in the first column by the day of the year and decimal of a day reckoned from Greenwich mean midnight. The place where the photograph was taken is also indicated in the first column. A photograph taken at Greenwich is indicated by the letter G, and those taken at the Cape, Kodaikanal, Mount Wilson and Freiburg, by the letters, C, K, Mt. W and F respectively. The projected area of the umbrse and whole spots, given in the second and third columns, is the area as it is measured on the photograph, uncorrected for the effect of foreshortening, and expressed in millionths of the Sun's apparent disk. The area corrected for foreshortening given in the fourth, and fifth columns is expressed in millionths of the Sun's visible hemisphere. The longitude given in the sixth column is based on the ephemeris given in the Nautical Almanac, assuming a daily sidereal motion of 14.18, due to the Sun's rotation, constant at all latitudes; this corresponds to Carrington's assumed rotation period of S5.38 days. The proper motion given in the seventh column is derived from the difference of longitude thus computed from the measured positions on any given day and the first day on which the group of spots or single spot is visible, after the correction for the motion appropriate to the latitude has been applied according to the formula, Ç = 14°37 - 2?60 sin2 Ф. A plus sign (increasing longitude) indicates a motion forwards, a minus sign a motion backwards relative to the position on the first day. The remaining columns correspond to those with similar headings in the preceding section. When a group is 80 or more from the Sun's central meridian, the measures for that day are not included in taking the mean area or the mean longitude and latitude of the group. In such cases of close proximity to the Sun's limb, the addition of brackets denotes that only part of the group is visible. GREENWICH PHOTO-HELIOGRAPHIC RESULTS, 1955. LEDGER I.

С 74 MEAN AREAS OF SUNSPOTS AND FACULJE FOR EACH ROTATION OF THE SUN, FROM 1964 DECEMBER 22 TO 1956 JANUARY 7 The mean, areas have been formed by taking the means of the areas for each day of observation throughout each rotation of the Sun, the projected areas being the areas as measured on the photographs and expressed in millionths of the Sun's apparent disk, and the areas corrected for foreshortening being expressed in millionths of the Sun's visible hemisphere. The rotations adopted in the following table (which is in continuation of those for the years 1873-1954 printed in the Greenwich Observations for 1884 and succeeding years) correspond to the synodic rotation of the Sun, and the commencement of each is defined by the coincidence of the assumed prime meridian with the central meridian, the assumed prime meridian being that meridian which passed through the ascending node of the Sun's equator on the ecliptic at mean noon on January 1, 1854, and the assumed period of the Sun's sidereal rotation being 25.38 days.

MEAN HELIOGRAPHIC LATITUDE FROM 1954 OF SUNSPOTS FOR EACH ROTATION DECEMBER 22 TO 1966 JANUARY С 75 OF THE SUN, 7 The numbers given in the accompanying table have been formed as follows: The heliographic latitude of each spot for each day has been multiplied by its area (corrected for f o r e s h o r t e n i n g ) , and the sum of the p r o d u c t s , for spots north of the equator, has been divided by the sum of the corresponding areas to form the mean heliographic latitude of spotted area north of the equator; s i m i l a r l y for spots south of the equator. In forming the mean heliographic latitude of entire spotted area, the algebraic sum of the products for spots north and aouth of the equator has been divided by the sum of the areas; and for the mean distance from the equator of all spots the numerical sum of the products,! without regard to the sign of latitude, has been similarly divided. The mean areas have been formed by dividing the sum of the daily areas (corrected for foreshortening) by the number of days of observation for each rotation of the Sun and are expressed in millionths of the Sun's visible hemisphere.

Measures of line-of-sight velocity are taken w i t h the "line-shifter", whose scale from 0 - 1 0 divisions = 0.37 A. = 17 km./sec. at Ha.. The zero of the Ha. line is determined from measures of the darkest part of the line in an undisturbed portion of the Sun near the centre of the disk. The purpose of the observations being to locate large line-of-sight velocities*, measured displacements are i n t e r p r e t e d as being due to Doppler effects. The probable error of a single measure of line-of-sight velocity, as determined from a number of successive readings, is about 3 km./sec., including the probable error of the zero determination. Three or four measures being generally made on each filament, the probable errors of the tabulated values in the third column of the following table do not usually exceed 2 km./sec., except, perhaps in the case of the larger v e l o c i t i e s , which have accordingly been rounded off to the nearest 5 km./sec. In the following table, the headings of which are self-explanatory, are given of each dark filament as follows (1) particulars The measured line-of-sight velocity in km./sec., + indicating motion away from the observer and - motion towards the observer. Where two values are given it is to be understood, unless otherwise stated in the footnotes, that different velocities were observed along the length of the filament, and that the tabulated values are the extreme velocities measured, which in nearly all cases correspond to the opposite ends of the marking. In those cases in which one end of a f i l a m e n t , showing progressive v e l o c i t i e s along its length, appeared to touch a sunspot, the l i n e - o f - s i g h t v e l o c i t y observed at that extremity of the filament is printed in italics. (2) (a) The apparent length of the filament in minutes of arc, read by means of a scale inserted in the field, or from a drawing. An asterisk denotes that the marking was small and roughly c i r c u l a r in shape. The d i a m e t e r s of these circular markings are of the order of 10". * An analysis of the line-of-sight velocities of dark Ha. markings near sunspots, observed at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, 1930-33, is given in Monthly Notices, 94, 472, 1934. A further paper on the characteristic motions of such filaments associated with solar flares appears in Monthly n o t i c e s , 102, -2, 1942. С 80 GREENWICH PHOTO-HELIOGRAPHIC RESULTS, 1955. (b) The apparent least distance in minutes of arc from the centre of the nearest sunspot or group of spots. In those cases indicated by dots in the appropriate column it was not possible to obtain a measure. (c) The position of the filament relative to the group of associated sunspots or to a single component of the group. In cases where a sunspot has been so designated in the Ledgers in the preceding Results, the appropriate letter a (the leader of the group) or ò (the follower) has been added. The abbreviations n, s, f, p, c, stand respectively for north, south, following, preceding, central. (3) Particulars of the associated group of sunspots, abstracted from the General Catalogue, including the longitude Crorn the Sun's central meridian at the time of observing the filament (deduced from the mean longitude of the sunspots). Notes have been added of unusual features seen at the time of observation. Filaments which were apparently descending into sunspots with progressive velocities and which showed a definite curvature of shape are also noted. GREENWICH PHOTO-HELIOGRAPHIC RESULTS, i9ss.

OBSERVATIONS OF SOLAR FLARES MADE WITH THE SPEGTROHELIOSCOPE IN THE YEAR 1955 Observations in Яа-light of solar flares, otherwise bright chromospheric eruptions, were be.gun at Greenwich when the spectrohelioscope was installed in 1929. The observed t i m e s of f l a r e s and t h e i r p o s i t i o n s have s i n c e 1935 been regularly communicated to Meudon for incorporation in the Q u a r t e r l y B u l l e t i n on Solar A c t i v i t y published from Zurich under the auspices of the International Astronomical Union. I n v e s t i g a t i o n s made at Greenwich into the r e l a t i o n s h i p s between solar f l a r e s and (l) r a d i o fade-outs (2) geomagnetic disturbances are published in M o n t h l y N o t i c e s 97, 594, 1937; 103, 244, 1943 and 104, 4, 1944.

The observer's estimate, when it occurs w i t h i n the times of observation, of the time of maximum of the flare. In c e r t a i n cases t h i s t i m e of maximum has been derived from a series of i n t e n s i t y or l i n e - w i d t h measurements. Column 9. Approximate area of the f l a r e , corrected for f o r e s h o r t e n i n g and expressed in millionths of the Sun's hemisphere. A g r a t i c u l e inserted in the f i e l d of view has been used for the measurement of area. Column 10.

The i n t e n s i t y is expressed as a percentage of the local continuum and is corrected for scattered light in the instrument. W i t h a visual wedge photometer a measure is usually taken of the r a t i o of b r i g n t n e s s of the flare to the brightness of the undisturbed disk, at the central wavelength of Ha. The following apparent central i n t e n s i t i e s (obtained experimentally and uncorrected for instrumental scattering) are assumed at the various p a r t s of the d i s k in order to o b t a i n the a p p a r e n t i n t e n s i t y of the f l a r e in terms of the local c o n t i n u u m : С 84 GREENWICH PHOTO-HELIOGRAPHIC RESULTS, i9ss. _.,.,„. .

No correction is made for finite slit-width since such correction, for the centre of the //cc-line, is not expected to exceed one or two per cent. In some cases (indicated by italicized figures in Column 12) the measurement of the intensity is made directly with the local continuum. A secondary "line-shifter" (see Monthly Notices, 99, 463, 1939) is used to bring the continuum 15 A.U. from the centre of the Яа-line into the lower half of the field to enable the comparison to be made. A correction to allow for the absorption (15 per cent) of the thick lineshifter is made and the correction for scattered light can then be applied, as in the other cases. Columns 13 and 14.
