Solar Orbiter, Instruments

Scientific paper

We present here a summary of the discussions concerning the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and ultraviolet (UV) wavelength selection and instrumentation for Solar Orbiter, held at the Tenerife meeting. These issues were assigned to Payload Splinter Group 4 and to the Wavelength Selection Working Group. Concerning the wavelength selection, a number of critical wavelength ranges were highlighted and discussed. Great emphasis was placed on good atmospheric coverage, from the chromosphere to the hottest coronal lines. A number of wavelength ranges were presented but the wide temperature range demands the inclusion of wavelengths longer than 912 Å as well as prime coronal lines in much shorter wavelength ranges, such as 170-250 Å. Regarding the instrumentation, the group agreed that Solar Orbiter should carry both imaging and spectroscopic capability in the EUV/UV and the two strawman instruments were presented and discussed. A number of alternatives were considered as were developments in technology, which could be of use for these instruments.
