Abstract

The effect of a background signal on the signal-to-noise ratio is discussed, with particular application to ground-based observations of emission lines in the solar corona with the proposed Advanced Technology Solar Telescope. The concepts of effective coronal aperture and effective coronal integration time are introduced. Specific expressions are developed for the 1 measurement errors for coronal intensity, coronal electron density, coronal velocity, and coronal magnetic field measurements using emission lines and including a background.
