The near-infrared observations at the Tower Solar Telescope TST-2 of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory

Abstract

Abstract Observations in the near-infrared wavelength range have been regularly carried out at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory (CrAO) on the Tower Solar Telescope (TST-2). It began in the late 1990s by putting into operation the Universal Spectrophotometer (USPh) at the TST-2 and it continues up to the present time. In 2020 the observation process was modernized - the mirror control electronics and software were replaced. Work is currently underway to create a catalog of solar disk images obtained before the modernization of TST-2. Here we present fragments of the catalog - several examples of a full solar disk in He i 1083 nm from the USPh/TST-2 instrument and a brief description of the future catalog.
