YunNan One Meter Infrared Solar Tower Jun Lin

Why is YNST? After Solar-B launch, what can we do by using of ground-based telescope ? Detailed chromosphere diagnostics Special magnetic field observations (IR, hyperfine-structure of atoms) Higher angle resolution B. W. Lites ( at THEMIS user meeting )

What is YNST? An optical system of 1-meter aperture: resolution < 0.3 arcsec (200 km), vacuum tube, AO Symmetric structure for accurate measurement of magnetic field: Gregorian telescope, polarization analyzer, I, Q, U, V Focal instrument of high resolution: Filter-based image Fabry-Perot filter, magnetograph, high spectral resolution Multi-wavelength observations: Multi-wavelength spectrograph, Near-Infrared detectors High accuracy tracking and pointing system: Auto guiding system, correlating tracker

YNST’s Spectral Range The Sun will be observed within the range from 3,000 to 25,000 Å. This range spans the spectrum from UV to near IR. Information includes those of the photosphere, the chromosphere, and the corona. Spectral lines include both magnetic field and plasma flow sensitive ones.
