Scientific paper

We propose the construction of a new instrument, the Mees Imaging Solar Spectrometer (MISS), optimized for spectroscopic study of energetic solar events such as filament eruptions and solar flares, and their relationship to coronal mass ejections. MISS is a fiber-optics-based imaging spectrograph. It will be able to perform simultaneous spectroscopic observations of selected spectral lines and continuum over an extended field with high spatial and spectral resolution and high cadence. It will operate nominally in a low-resolution (20" per pixel), full-disk patrol mode, and can be rapidly switched to a high-resolution (1" per pixel) region-of-interest mode of observation when energetic events are detected. Several spectral lines, from CaII H & K to HeI 1083 nm can be recorded in rapid succession. These advanced imaging spectroscopic capabilities make it an ideal instrument for the study of the rapid change of the physical conditions of the solar atmosphere during these energetic events.
