On the Intensity Distribution Function of Blazed Reflective Diffraction Gratings
R. Casini, P. G. Nelson
We derive from first principles the expression for the angular/wavelength distribution of the intensity diffracted by a blazed reflective grating, according to a scalar theory of d…
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…
Preliminary design of the Visible Spectro-Polarimeter for the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope
Alfred G. de Wijn, Roberto Casini, Peter G. Nelson +1
The Visible Spectro-Polarimeter (ViSP) is one of the first light instruments for the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST). It is an echelle spectrograph designed to measure t…
The Sunrise Mission
Peter Barthol, Achim Gandorfer, Sami K. Solanki +42
The first science flight of the balloon-borne \Sunrise telescope took place in June 2009 from ESRANGE (near Kiruna/Sweden) to Somerset Island in northern Canada. We describe the sc…
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…
