The Citizen CATE 2024 next-generation experiment placed 43 identical telescope and camera setups along the path of totality during the total solar eclipse (TSE) on 8 April 2024 to…
CATEcor: an Open Science, Shaded-Truss, Externally-Occulted Coronagraph
Craig E. DeForest, Daniel B. Seaton, Amir Caspi +7
We present the design of a portable coronagraph, CATEcor, that incorporates a novel "shaded truss" style of external occultation and serves as a proof-of-concept for that family of…

Daniel B. Seaton, Amir Caspi, Nathalia Alzate +10
We present results of a dual eclipse expedition to observe the solar corona from two sites during the annular solar eclipse of 2023 October 14, using a novel coronagraph designed t…
A Chromatic Treatment of Linear Polarization in the Solar Corona at the 2023 Total Solar Eclipse
Ritesh Patel, Daniel B. Seaton, Amir Caspi +17
The broadband solar K-corona is linearly polarized due to Thomson scattering. Various strategies have been used to represent coronal polarization. Here, we present a new way to vis…
