Solar Transients and Space Weather (STSW)

STSW Activities

Traditional community leaders in field of observation and theory of polarized radiation -
"Spectro-polarimetry" (SP)

• Perform fundamental radiative transfer theory
• Developing spectropolarimetric inversion techniques
• Maintained NSO/DST ASP and NSO/DST SPINOR Instruments
• Developed, built and supported the Hinode/SP Instrument

Community Spectro-polarimetric Analysis Center (CSAC)

• CSAC is our community connection
• Home of the Hinode/SP calibration/inversion pipeline
• Home to the SDO/HMI inversion routines
• CSAC will source CoMP SP inversions in the future

LSA is developing next-generation instrumentation

• Prominence Magnetometer (ProMag)
• ATST/ViSP

The LSA section has a deep pool of external collaborators.
