| Abstract: |
The Focal Plane Package (FPP) of the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) includes the first precision Spectro-Polarimeter (SP) for solar space observations. The FPP/SP will provide high precision measures of the vector magnetic field in the solar photosphere. Here we present some as-built performance specifications for the entire system of telescope + polarimeter. The FPP-SP system represents significant gains in several aspects over existing spectropolarimetric systems; notably, angular resolution, polarimetric accuracy, spectral purity, and most importantly, temporal continuity of stable, high angular resolution. In this short summary of the poster, a few of the performance characteristics of the SP are presented. |
