Scientific paper

Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) of New Jersey Institute of Technology is upgrading its 65 cm aperture vacuum telescope with a modern, off-axis 1.6 m clear aperture instrument - New Solar Telescope (NST). The NST offers a significant incremental improvement in ground-based infrared and visible light high angular resolution capabilities. It will fully utilize the optical and dynamical range advantages of its unobstructed (off-axis) pupil. The NST enhances our continuing program to understand photospheric magneto-convection and chromospheric dynamics. This new telescope will be the largest aperture solar telescope, and the largest aperture off-axis telescope located in one of the best observing sites. It will enable new, cutting edge science.
