Description
Over 30 years of solar data have been acquired by the Birmingham Solar
Oscillations Network (BiSON), an international network of telescopes
used to study oscillations of the Sun. Five of the six BiSON telescopes
are located at major observatories. The observational sites are, in
order of increasing longitude: Mount Wilson (Hale) Observatory (MWO),
California, USA; Las Campanas Observatory, Chile; Observatorio del
Teide, Izaña, Tenerife, Canary Islands; the South African
Astronomical Observatory, Sutherland, South Africa; Carnarvon, Western
Australia; and the Paul Wild Observatory, Narrabri, New South Wales,
Australia. The BiSON data may be used to measure atmospheric extinction
coefficients in the {{{I}}}{{c}} band (approximately
700-900 nm), and presented here are the derived atmospheric
extinction coefficients from each site over the years 1984-2016.

The principal objectives of this project are: 1) to study the structure and dynamics of the solar interior, 2) to extend this study to other stars, 3) to search for extrasolar planets using photometric methods (primarily by transits of their host stars) and their characterization (using radial velocity information) and 4) the study of the planetary
