1 YunNan One Meter Infrared Solar Tower Jun Lin

2 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 )

3 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, 10 -4 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

4 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.

16 Spectral Lines of Interest (Ph+Ch) FeI (6301.5+6302.5): Photospheric line sensitive to magnetic field. H  : Traditional line used to observe flares. CaII (8542): Chromospheric line sensitive to magnetic field. HeI (10830): Good for observations of the filament magnetic field.

17 YNST’s Scientific Goals & Tasks Observational data of high resolutions in both time and space for magnetic field of fine structures. Properties of tiny fibrils, or flux tubes of kilo-gauss magnetic field. Coupling of magnetic field and mass motions, and energy transportation from the photosphere to the corona. Conducting multi-wavelength observations and data analyses; providing forefront observational data and opportunities to the research communities.
