Spectropolarimetry with CRISP at the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope

Abstract

CRISP (Crisp Imaging Spectro-polarimeter), the new spectropolarimeter at the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope, opens a new perspective in solar polarimetry. With better spatial resolution (0.13") than Hinode in the Fe I 6302 A line and similar polarimetric sensitivity reached through postprocessing, CRISP complements the SP spectropolarimeter onboard Hinode. We present some of the data which we obtained in our June 2008 campaign and preliminary results from LTE inversions of a pore containing umbral dots.
