SCIENTISTS HAVE DEVELOPED A NEW TECHNIQUE THAT COMBINES OBSERVATIONS OF POLARIZED LIGHT AND SOLAR WAVES TO MEASURE THE SUN’S CORONAL MAGNETIC FIELD MORE ACCURATELY AND ROUTINELY, IMPROVING OUR ...
The National Solar Observatory (NSO) is the national center for ground-based solar physics in the United States (www.nso.edu) and is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in ...
Space weather refers to the day-to-day strength of X-ray photons, charged particles, and magnetic fields that flow from the Sun and interact with the Earth’s magnetic fields, atmosphere, and ...
The Feed Optics are a number of thermally controlled optical components that function to relay the Gregorian image produced by M1 and M2 to Coudé instruments. The Transfer Optics include M3 through M6 ...
The GONG facility of NSO continually produces solar full-disk images centered on the H-αspectral line at a wavelength of 6562.8 Åin air. The image format is 2048 x 2048 pixels. The images are taken ...
Soaring nearly two-miles, or three kilometers, above the Pacific Ocean, Haleakalā is Maui Island’s largest volcanic mountain and a near perfect place for solar astronomy. Haleakalā is a high-elevation ...
In a groundbreaking new study, a team led by scientists from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) National Solar Observatory (NSO) has captured the sharpest-ever view of the Sun’s surface, ...
The mission of the Cryo-NIRSP is to take advantage of the full coronagraphic capabilities of DKIST to observe both the near-limb and off-limb corona out to 1.5 Solar Radii, and, additionally, leverage ...
The Potential-field Source-surface (PFSS) model provides a simple and effective model for the large-scale features of the global coronal magnetic field. To capture large-scale field structure in a ...
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, the world’s most powerful solar telescope, operated by the NSF National Solar Observatory (NSO), achieved a major ...
Coronal loops are bright curving structures arcing above the surface of the Sun. Driven by the looping lines of the Sun’s twisted and powerful magnetic fields, these arcs of plasma are usually, but ...
Largest Imaging Spectro-Polarimeter Achieves First Light at the NSF Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope
The U.S. National Science Foundation Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, the world’s most powerful solar telescope, operated by the NSF National Solar Observatory (NSO) reached a major milestone as the ...
