Good edge extraction from temporal series of solar images is fundamental in the solar astrolabe experiment. Noise and spots in images cause however, difficulties to extract an accurate solar edge. We present in this paper a new image-processing method which solves this problem and thus improves the characteristics of the solar astrolabe...

Solar diameter measurements performed at Calern Observatory astrolabe during more than two solar cycles show variations at various time scales in a broad range. Due to seasonal effects and instrumental characteristics, the recorded data are not sampled uniformly and present some gaps during these years. This time series has been analyzed by...

Solar diameter measurements performed with the Calern Observatory astrolabe (O.C.A - France) during more than two solar cycles show temporal variations. Due to the weather, seasonal effects and instrumental characteristics, recorded solar data are non uniformly sampled and present temporal gaps. Thus, to analyze these data, diameter...
