The ASPIICS solar coronagraph aboard the Proba-3 formation flying mission. Scientific objectives and instrument design
A. N. Zhukov, C. Thizy, D. Galano +67
We describe the scientific objectives and instrument design of the ASPIICS coronagraph launched aboard the Proba-3 mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) on 5 December 2024. Pr…
Metis: the Solar Orbiter visible light and ultraviolet coronal imager
Ester Antonucci, Marco Romoli, Vincenzo Andretta +100
Metis is the first solar coronagraph designed for a space mission capable of performing simultaneous imaging of the off-limb solar corona in both visible and UV light. The observat…
POLLUX: a UV spectropolarimeter for the LUVOIR space telescope project
Eduard Muslimov, Jean-Claude Bouret, Coralie Neiner +9
The present paper describes the current baseline optical design of POLLUX, a high-resolution spectropolarimeter for the future LUVOIR mission. The instrument will operate in the ul…
Combining freeform optics and curved detectors for wide field imaging: a polynomial approach over squared aperture
Eduard Muslimov, Emmanuel Hugot, Wilfried Jahn +5
In the recent years a significant progress was achieved in the field of design and fabrication of optical systems based on freeform optical surfaces. They provide a possibility to…
Prime Focus Spectrograph for the Subaru telescope: massively multiplexed optical and near-infrared fiber spectrograph
Hajime Sugai, Naoyuki Tamura, Hiroshi Karoji +81
The Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) is an optical/near-infrared multifiber spectrograph with 2394 science fibers distributed across a 1.3-deg diameter field of view at the Subaru 8.…
Active optics for high-dynamic variable curvature mirrors
Emmanuel Hugot, Marc Ferrari, Gerard R. Lemaitre +5
Variable curvature mirrors of large amplitude are designed by using finite element analysis. The specific case studied reaches at least a 800 μm sag with an optical quality better…
