Sunrise III: Instrument, mission, data, and first results
Sami K. Solanki, H. N. Smitha, Andreas Lagg +66
Sunrise III is a stratospheric balloon-borne solar observatory with a 1-m diameter telescope and three post-focus instruments, along with an image stabilisation system, all within…
The Sunrise Ultraviolet Spectropolarimeter and Imager: Instrument description
A. Feller, A. Gandorfer, B. Grauf +46
The third science flight of the balloon-borne solar observatory Sunrise carries three entirely new post-focus science instruments with spectropolarimetric capabilities, concurrentl…
Sunrise III: Overview of Observatory and Instruments
Andreas Korpi-Lagg, Achim Gandorfer, Sami K. Solanki +117
In July 2024, Sunrise completed its third successful science flight. The Sunrise III observatory had been upgraded significantly after the two previous successful flights in 2009 a…
Reconstruction of total solar irradiance variability as simultaneously apparent from Solar Orbiter and Solar Dynamics Observatory
K. L. Yeo, N. A. Krivova, S. K. Solanki +42
Solar irradiance variability has been monitored almost exclusively from the Earth's perspective. {We present a method to combine the unprecedented observations of the photospheric…
Coronal voids and their magnetic nature
J. D. Nölke, S. K. Solanki, J. Hirzberger +68
Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) observations of the quiet solar atmosphere reveal extended regions of weak emission compared to the ambient quiescent corona. The magnetic nature of these…
Intensity contrast of solar network and faculae close to the solar limb, observed from two vantage points
K. Albert, N. A. Krivova, J. Hirzberger +43
The brightness of faculae and network depends on the angle at which they are observed and the magnetic flux density. Close to the limb, assessment of this relationship has until no…
Initial radiometric calibration of the High-Resolution EUV Imager () of the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) instrument onboard Solar Orbiter
S. Gissot, F. Auchère, D. Berghmans +21
The telescope was calibrated on ground at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), Germany's national metrology institute, using the Metrology L…
EUV fine structure and variability associated with coronal rain revealed by Solar Orbiter/EUI HRIEUV and SPICE
P. Antolin, A. Dolliou, F. Auchère +34
Coronal rain is the most dramatic cooling phenomenon of the solar corona and an essential diagnostic tool for the coronal heating properties. A puzzling feature of the solar corona…
Direct assessment of SDO/HMI helioseismology of active regions on the Sun's far side using SO/PHI magnetograms
D. Yang, L. Gizon, H. Barucq +47
Earth-side observations of solar p modes can be used to image and monitor magnetic activity on the Sun's far side. Here we use magnetograms of the far side obtained by the Polarime…
The ratio of horizontal to vertical displacement in solar oscillations estimated from combined SO/PHI and SDO/HMI observations
J. Schou, J. Hirzberger, D. Orozco Suárez +44
In order to make accurate inferences about the solar interior using helioseismology, it is essential to understand all the relevant physical effects on the observations. One effect…
First Perihelion of EUI on the Solar Orbiter mission
D. Berghmans, P. Antolin, F. Auchère +34
Context. The Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI), onboard Solar Orbiter consists of three telescopes: the two High Resolution Imagers in EUV (HRIEUV) and in Lyman-α (HRILya), and the…
The magnetic drivers of campfires seen by the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (PHI) on Solar Orbiter
F. Kahil, J. Hirzberger, S. K. Solanki +56
The Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) on board the Solar Orbiter (SO) spacecraft observed small extreme ultraviolet (EUV) bursts, termed campfires, that have been proposed to be bri…
Metis: the Solar Orbiter visible light and ultraviolet coronal imager
Ester Antonucci, Marco Romoli, Vincenzo Andretta +100
Metis is the first solar coronagraph designed for a space mission capable of performing simultaneous imaging of the off-limb solar corona in both visible and UV light. The observat…
