ESPOS: First flare observations from SUIT (Soumya Roy)

ESPOS
Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) is the near Ultraviolet imager (200-400 nm) on board the Indian Solar mission Aditya-L1. It was launched on September 2nd, 2023 and was inserted in a halo orbit around the Earth-Sun L1 point on January 6th, 2024. It has been regularly observing the Sun during its cruise phase and nominal observation time in the past year. Here, we will present some of the selected flare observations carried out by SUIT in the past year, combining them with various multi-wavelength observations and highlighting the unique observation window SUIT opens up in the lower solar atmosphere.

In irdischen Laboren ließen sich solche Proben umfassender untersuchen als vor Ort auf dem Mars. Bericht vom aktuellen Stand auf dem Weg zur ersten Sample Return Mission. [more]
