Big Bear Solar Observatory – The NST Philip R. Goode Big Bear Solar Observatory New Jersey Institute of Technology

Background BBSO 65-cm telescope 1 of 2 hi-res in US - Different mission than DST - Long tradition of observing campaigns -Essential for studies of space weather Transferred from Caltech to NJIT 5 years ago - Expanded NJIT group to 4 tenure-track faculty - 10 PhD students (including 3 women) - 2 graduated last year - 175+ publications (bluebooks) Big Bear Solar Observatory 18 September 2018

BBSO’s Place Under the Sun Upgraded instrumentation (2nd generation) - New polarimeters (IR + VIS) - Real-time speckle reconstruction - AO By 2006: Ready to solve many space weather problems - SDO, STEREO and Solar-B in space - 0.5 m telescope in space - 1.5 m telescope in Europe (GREGOR) - No ATST until 2010 Big Bear Solar Observatory 18 September 2018

The 1.6 m Telescope – the NST (New Solar Telescope) 2006 - first light Replaces the 65 cm telescope Open, off-axis & feeds new instrument-ation Gives BBSO a future & students to use ATST Big Bear Solar Observatory 18 September 2018

Schematic of the NST Same fork & pedestal Cost sim. to GREGOR Stray light reduction No central obscuration Heat stop out of optical path Retractable dome Big Bear Solar Observatory 18 September 2018

A BBSO/UHawaii Collaboration in NSF-MRI NJIT to invest $1.3M & MRI request is $1.8M - highly leveraged AFOSR –DURIP (hopefully) for figuring blank and mirror cell. BBSO/UH collaborate on mechanical, thermal and computer control UH interest in combined NST & SOLAR-C observations and a larger coronagraph downstream UA Mirror Lab involvement for primary - 20/20 project and NST primary Members of design team coming into place Liaison with NSO/ATST team Work with GREGOR team on thermal issues What if BBSO is chosen as ATST site ? Big Bear Solar Observatory 18 September 2018

NST Science High-res, high-cadence studies of solar flares Structure/evolution of magnetic fields in flaring active regions Dynamics of kG flux tubes Magneto-convection in sunspots Heating of the upper atmosphere - intra-network fields Big Bear Solar Observatory 18 September 2018

The ATST NST keeps US solar on a par with Europe Gives our field a future for a generation NST remains important for campaigns and education Big Bear Solar Observatory 18 September 2018
