Solaris: A Focused Solar Polar Discovery-class Mission to achieve the Highest Priority Heliophysics Science Now
Donald M. Hassler, Sarah E Gibson, Jeffrey S Newmark +33
Solaris is a transformative Solar Polar Discovery-class mission concept to address crucial outstanding questions that can only be answered from a polar vantage. Solaris will image…
Square Root Compression and Noise Effects in Digitally Transformed Images
C. E. DeForest, C. Lowder, D. B. Seaton +1
We report on a particular example of noise and data representation interacting to introduce systematic error. Many instruments collect integer digitized values and appy nonlinear c…
Small Satellite Mission Concepts for Space Weather Research and as Pathfinders for Operations
Amir Caspi, M. Barthelemy, C. D. Bussy-Virat +5
Recent advances in miniaturization and commercial availability of critical satellite subsystems and detector technology have made small satellites (SmallSats, including CubeSats) a…
Three-Polarizer Treatment of Linear Polarization in Coronagraphs and Heliospheric Imagers
Craig E. DeForest, Daniel B. Seaton, Matthew J. West
Linear polarized light has been used to view the solar corona for over 150 years. While the familiar Stokes representation for polarimetry is complete, it is best matched to a labo…
A new facility for airborne solar astronomy: NASA's WB-57 at the 2017 total solar eclipse
Amir Caspi, Daniel B. Seaton, Constantine C. C. Tsang +28
NASA's WB-57 High Altitude Research Program provides a deployable, mobile, stratospheric platform for scientific research. Airborne platforms are of particular value for making cor…
The Solar Orbiter SPICE instrument -- An extreme UV imaging spectrometer
The SPICE Consortium, :, M. Anderson +88
The Spectral Imaging of the Coronal Environment (SPICE) instrument is a high-resolution imaging spectrometer operating at extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wavelengths. In this paper, we p…
