Scientific paper

The COronal Solar Magnetism Observatory (COSMO) is a proposed ground-based suite of instruments designed to study coronal magnetic fields and their environment using the polarization of forbidden emission lines in the infrared. Supporting instruments focus on prominence and chromospheric magnetometry and imaging and the evolution of the electron scattered corona (K-corona). COSMO will address one of the least understood problems in Sun-Earth connections: the coronal magnetic field using breakthrough techonologies that have been successfully demonstrated with proof-of-concept instrumentation. We will present information about COSMO and science results from the prototype instruments, including the detection of Alfven waves in the corona.
