The PICARD Payload Data Centre

G. Pradels, T. Guinle, G. Thuillier +10

PICARD is a scientific space mission dedicated to the study of the solar variability origin. A French micro-satellite will carry an imaging telescope for measuring the solar diamet…

On-Orbit Degradation of Solar Instruments

A. BenMoussa, S. Gissot, U. Schühle +38

We present the lessons learned about the degradation observed in several space solar missions, based on contributions at the Workshop about On-Orbit Degradation of Solar and Space…

Variation of the Diameter of the Sun as Measured by the Solar Disk Sextant (SDS)

S. Sofia, T. M. Girard, U. J. Sofia +3

The balloon-borne Solar Disk Sextant (SDS) experiment has measured the angular size of the Sun on seven occasions spanning the years 1992 to 2011. The solar half-diameter -- observ…

The magnetism of the solar interior for a complete MHD solar vision

S. Turck-Chieze, T. Appourchaux, J. Ballot +37

The solar magnetism is no more considered as a purely superficial phenomenon. The SoHO community has shown that the length of the solar cycle depends on the transition region betwe…

The Non-Homologous Nature of Solar Diameter Variations

Sabatino Sofia, Sarbani Basu, Pierre Demarque +2

We show in this paper that the changes of the solar diameter in response to variations of large scale magnetic fields and turbulence are not homologous. For the best current model,…
