The most technologicallyadvanced optical and IR “polarimeter” ever built

Renaissance opportunities for ground-based coronal science…
• ATST’s non-incremental features:– Aperture (by an order of magnitude)– Wavelength opportunity -- IR– Polarimetric sensitivity (including calibration)
• Complex problems are “solved” using forward modeling with new observational and computational tools…like we’ve been talking about doing this week.
What’s needed to realize all of this?

April 6 2004 Observations
Fe X 171Å image of the solar corona at approximately the time of SOLARC/OFIS observation from EIT/SOHO. The rectangle marks the target region of the coronal magnetic field (Stokes V) observation.
Full Stokes vector observations were obtained on April 6, 2004 on active region NOAA 0581 during its west limb transit.

Measuring Stokes V for Coronal Fields
• Unlike photospheric Zeeman observations, in the corona there is a strong linear polarization signal, and only a weak intrinsic Stokes V signal. Even small U-V cross-talk dominates measured Stokes V
• In weak-field approximation, V = c·B·dI/d, the observed circular polarization can be written as
– V’ () = ·I () + c·B ·dI () /d = ·I (+ c·B/),
• Thus, B can be directly obtained by comparison with the shift of V with respect to I in the spectral direction and by measuring/calibrating the I-V cross-talk

SOLARC Magnetometry, Useful Magnitudes• FeXIII Q/I or U/I is of order 10%• Magnetic V/I amplitude sensitivity
should be of order 5x10-5 for B ~ 3 G
• Peak magnetic flux density of 6G corresponds to I-V lineshift 2x10-3
pixels (1px = 0.017 nm) and V/I peak amplitude of 0.0001
• Stability requirements– Dλ/ λ better than 3x10-8
– DI/I better than 10-4
• Strategies– Measure I and V profiles
simultaneously– Stabilize wavelength and photometry
measurements– Minimize and calibrate telescope and
polarimeter crosstalk
B = 4.6G

What light’s up the loops?
Kuhn, IAS, 2008
NB:At least on small-scaleswe can’t see a correlationbetween Blos and brightness.Does the “heating function” dependon spatial scale…?

What’s needed?
• Observational tools – more than ATST, sensitive polarimetry from the telescope and instruments
![Page 20: IR Coronal Tools: Jeff Kuhn Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawaii](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681674a550346895ddbf9d4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ATST Polarimetry Requirements• Polarization sensitivity: amount of fractional polarization that
can be detected above a (spatially and/or spectrally) constant background, a relative measurement: 10-5
• Polarization accuracy: absolute error in measured fractional polarization, an absolute measurement: 5·10-4
• Derived telescope polarization requirements: – < 1% instrumentally induced polarization at all wavelengths before
polarization modulation (to keep second-order effects small enough to achieve required polarization sensitivity)
– Instrumental polarization calibration error: < 5·10-4 (to achieve polarization accuracy requirement)
– Instrumental polarization stability: < 5·10-4 within 15 min (to achieve polarization accuracy requirement)

CryoNIRSP What’s needed?
• Observational tools – more than just ATST, need sensitive polarimetry from the telescope and instruments
• Instruments designed for sensitive coronal polarimetry (Stokes V and IR)
• People, and a growing interested community
![Page 26: IR Coronal Tools: Jeff Kuhn Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawaii](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681674a550346895ddbf9d4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
CryoNIRSP How to rebuild community
• Let’s do better advertising our progress on the long-standing problems, e.g. coronal magnetometry
• Let’s connect with a broader astronomical community, e.g. “night-time solar physics” is a real discipline, more radio, extrasolar planets, stellar magnetism…
• Let’s make the hard quantitative interpretation of 3-d polarimetric tools more accessible, such a tool provides a natural venue for linking broader communities
![Page 27: IR Coronal Tools: Jeff Kuhn Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawaii](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681674a550346895ddbf9d4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
“forward” and CryoNIRSP
• … a CN “instrument personality” module that accepts CN instrument configuration parameters and generates simulated “observables” suitable for developing CN-ATST coronal experiments
• …starting to look for long-term support for tools like “forward”.
