New Technology Solar Coronagraphs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 June 2012
Abstract
We present the Mirror Advanced technology Coronagraph (MAC) as a new generation solar telescope to be put at suitable high altitude coronal sites in order to resolve modern problems of solar physics, like the origin of the heating of the chromosphere and of the corona, the analysis of the mesospheric layers of the solar atmosphere and the effects of shearing the photospheric magnetic fields on the dynamics of the upper coronal layers.
