Debrecen Photoheliographic Data
Győri, L., Baranyi, T., Ludmány, A.

1. Introduction
The Debrecen Photoheliographic Data (DPD)
sunspot catalogue is compiled as a continuation of Greenwich Photoheliographic Results (GPR). This program has been commissioned by the International Astronomical Union. The basic data in a sunspot catalogue are the heliographic positions and the areas of the sunspots. The data are supplemented with images of sunspot groups, scans of full-disk white-light observations, and magnetic observations as well as their user-friendly HTML presentation. The catalogue is based on our own (Debrecen and Gyula) full-disk white-light observations but gaps in this time series are  filled by solar images from other observatories.
Sunspot data and images of
DPD
(see DPDformat.txt and README.txt) are now available for the years (see also the Table of data availability):

The time series of the daily data is also available (dailyDPD1986_2003.txt),   and all the data and images can be downloaded from our ftp site in an direct way.

The research leading to the data published here after Nov. 2008  has received funding from the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement n° 218816.
