1 Science Lessons Learned from TESIS and their Relevance to SWAP V. Slemzin, LPI PROBA 2 SWT, La Roche, 14 June 2010

2 TESIS scientific team (LPI): S. Kuzin, S. Bogachev, S. Shestov, V. Slemzin, A. Ulyanov, A. Reva CORONAS-Photon was launched on January 31, 2009 The projected time of the mission was 2 years The flight was terminated after 9 months in November 2009 because of problems with the satellite power system.

7 2. Dynamics of active regions in 171 A

8 3. Short-time dynamics Nanoflares in 171 A Cadence 3 s, exposure 0.5 s Dynamics of spicules in 304 A

9 4. Eruption of a giant prominence in 304 A and U-shaped magnetic feature 12 May 2009

10 4. Quasi-static inner corona in 171 A Overexposure (10 s instead of 0.1s) Low straylight (one-mirror telescope)

12 TESIS lessons  The scientific program was not fulfilled because the mission was terminated in November 2009 due to failure of the satellite power system. Total volume of information: 700 Gb, 150000 images.  In 2009 the solar activity was unexpectedly low. Two high temperature channels did not provide valuable data (Mg, 132 A)  At very low solar activity there are many specific phenomena as global and small scale: eruption of giant prominences, a lot of bright EUV points, rich magnetic structure of the inner corona, reconnection of closed structures with open interplanetary lines.  The 171 A band is very informative to study the inner corona (T ~ 1-2 MK) in global and local scales.  Perspectives: EUV imaging with resolution < 1” and cadence of 1 s (“Arka” project) Level 1 TESIS data are available at http://www.tesis.lebedev.ru/en/data_access.html
