| Abstract: |
The SOLAR-C working group (WG) was established in 2007 to investigate
scientific and technical feasibility for the next Japanese solar mission
SOLAR-C whose earliest launch window is 2018. There are two conceptual
options in SOLAR-C. Option-A is a mission for out-of-ecliptic observations
of the solar polar regions to understand dynamics in the high latitude
regions of the Sun, and internal structures and dynamo mechanism. The
other option, option-B, is a mission for high-resolutional spectroscopic
and polarimetric observations of the solar atmosphere with advanced
telescopes. In option-B of SOLAR-C, strong emphasis is on measuring
chromospheric magnetic fields with a precise spectropolarimetric
instrument thanks to a large aperture of 1 to 1.5 m, which is important
to understand mechanisms responsible for transfer and dissipation of
magnetic energies through the solar atmosphere. |
