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…
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…
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…
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…
The Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager on Solar Orbiter
S. K. Solanki, J. C. del Toro Iniesta, J. Woch +121
This paper describes the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager on the Solar Orbiter mission (SO/PHI), the first magnetograph and helioseismology instrument to observe the Sun from o…
The second flight of the SUNRISE balloon-borne solar observatory: overview of instrument updates, the flight, the data and first results
S. K. Solanki, T. L. Riethmüller, P. Barthol +32
The SUNRISE balloon-borne solar observatory, consisting of a 1~m aperture telescope that provided a stabilized image to a UV filter imager and an imaging vector polarimeter, carrie…
The Wave-Front Correction System for the Sunrise Balloon-Borne Solar Observatory
T. Berkefeld, W. Schmidt, D. Soltau +21
This paper describes the wave-front correction system developed for the Sunrise balloon telescope, and provides information about its in-flight performance. For the correction of l…
The Imaging Magnetograph eXperiment (IMaX) for the Sunrise balloon-borne solar observatory
V. Martinez Pillet, J. C. del Toro Iniesta, A. Alvarez-Herrero +39
The Imaging Magnetograph eXperiment (IMaX) is a spectropolarimeter built by four institutions in Spain that flew on board the Sunrise balloon-borne telesocope in June 2009 for almo…
The Filter Imager SuFI and the Image Stabilization and Light Distribution System ISLiD of the Sunrise Balloon-Borne Observatory: Instrument Description
A. Gandorfer, B. Grauf, P. Barthol +29
We describe the design of the Sunrise Filter Imager (SuFI) and the Image Stabilization and Light Distribution (ISLiD) unit onboard the Sunrise balloon borne solar observatory. This…
