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…
Stray light and polarimetry considerations for the COSMO K-Coronagraph
Alfred G. de Wijn, Joan T. Burkepile, Steven Tomczyk +3
The COSMO K-Coronagraph is scheduled to replace the aging Mk4 K-Coronameter at the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in 2013. We present b…
The chromosphere and prominence magnetometer
Alfred G. de Wijn, Christian Bethge, Steven Tomczyk +1
The Chromosphere and Prominence Magnetometer (ChroMag) is conceived with the goal of quantifying the intertwined dynamics and magnetism of the solar chromosphere and in prominences…
Wavelength-Diverse Polarization Modulators for Stokes Polarimetry
Steven Tomczyk, Roberto Casini, Alfred G. de Wijn +1
Information about the three-dimensional structure of solar magnetic fields is encoded in the polarized spectra of solar radiation by a host of physical processes. To extract this i…
VFISV: Very Fast Inversion of the Stokes Vector for the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager
J. M. Borrero, S. Tomczyk, M. Kubo +4
In this paper we describe in detail the implementation and main properties of a new inversion code for the polarized radiative transfer equation (VFISV: Very Fast inversion of the…
