Science data products are now available from the new Upgraded Coronal Multi-Channel Polarimeter (UCoMP) installed at the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory [ https://www2.hao.ucar.edu/mlso ]. UCoMP is a major upgrade of the CoMP instrument. Its expanded capabilities include: observations of multiple coronal emission lines over a wide range of coronal temperatures to explore the magneto-thermal...
In 2024, the coronagraphs ASPIICS and CODEX will be launched on the formation flying PROBA-3 ESA mission and on the ISS with a NASA-KASI-INAF mission, respectively.
The 150-m separation between the formation-flying Coronagraph and Occulter satellites of PROBA-3 will allow long-duration, eclipse-like imaging of the inner corona, down to heliocentric heights of 1.1 solar radii. Besides the...
The Full Sun Imager (FSI), as part of the Solar Orbiter/EUI suite of instruments, is a wide field channel of 3.8° x 3.8° FOV, imaging the corona in two bands: 17.4 (Fe IX-Fe X) and 30.4 nm (He II). A coronagraphic mode of observation was added late in the development of the instrument, to provide new insight into a region largely unexplored corona in these EUV bands. In fact, depending on the...
Solaris is a transformative Solar Polar mission concept to address crucial outstanding questions that can only be answered from a polar vantage. Solaris will image the Sun's poles from 75° latitude, providing new insight into the workings of the solar dynamo and the solar cycle, which are at the foundation of our understanding of space weather and space climate. Solaris will also provide...
