Scientific paper

We have completed a preliminary design of a telescope capable of observing the 500,000 K transition region at high spatial (0.2 arcseconds) and temporal (5 seconds) resolution. The High-resolution Lightweight Telescope for the EUV (HiLiTE) is a Cassegrain telescope with an aperture of 30 cm, with multilayer-coated optics tuned to the 465 Å the Ne VII emission line formed in plasma at 500,000 K. The HiLiTE instrument, including both mirrors and the metering structure, will be constructed entirely from lightweight, thermally stable, high- stiffness advanced silicon carbide (SiC) material. In this poster we provide an update on the development of the HiLiTE instrument concept, including metrology on SiC optics and model results of the instrument's optical performance during a proposed sounding rocket flight.
