2.6.1 spase://SMWG/Instrument/Hinode/SOT Solar Optical Telescope 2014-07-24T20:37:21Z 2024-08-26T13:50:46 modify fields to include up-to-date information (by MDR) The Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) is a diffraction-limited, visible light telescope that provides the unparalleled combination of uninterrupted temporal coverage (free from atmospheric seeing, weather, and nighttime), high cadence (as short as 1.6s), and 0.2″ spatial resolution over a significant 328″×164″ field of view (FOV). SOT is comprised of the Focal Plane Package (FPP), which is fed by the 0.5-meter Optical Telescope Assembly (OTA). The FPP consists of the Spectro-Polarimeter (SP) and (up to 2016) the Narrowband and Broadband Filter Imagers (NFI and BFI) that comprise the FilterGraph (FG). The combined SOT system allows measurements of the vector magnetic field in the photosphere with unprecedented sensitivity (10× better than previous instrumentation), while simultaneously observing the effects of these fields on the dynamics of both the photosphere and chromosphere. spase://SMWG/Person/Yukio.Katsukawa PrincipalInvestigator spase://SMWG/Person/Marc.L.DeRosa CoPI spase://SMWG/Person/Saku.Tsuneta FormerPI spase://SMWG/Person/Ted.D.Tarbell FormerPI Hinode/SOT (NAOJ) https://hinode.nao.ac.jp/en/for-researchers/instruments/sot/ National Astronomical Observatory of Japan web site for Hinode/SOT instrument English Hinode/SOT (LMSAL) https://sot.lmsal.com/ Lockheed Martin web site for Hinode/SOT instrument English The Hinode/SOT Instrument paper https://doi.org/10.1007/s11207-008-9174-z Imager Solar Optical Telescope 2006-09-22T21:36:00 currently operational spase://SMWG/Observatory/Hinode
