RUI/SunRISE: High Resolution Polarimetry and Full Disk Photometry for RISE Variations from Hours to Decades

该项目将研究太阳磁活动的集体效应及其个别组成部分，包括太阳黑子和光斑的效应。 研究人员希望确定造成辐照度和光度变化的太阳活动的各个方面，并将这一知识应用于通过地面观测建立辐照度变化模型。 其次，他希望了解磁活动改变太阳内部能量流动的物理过程，从而产生地球光度和辐照度的变化。 最后，这个项目将有助于科学教育（1）涉及研究生在获取/分析数据和写硕士论文，（2）有研究生和本科生帮助新的实验室学生在相关的作业。

This project will study both the collective effects of solar magnetic activity and those of its individual components, including sunspots and faculae. The investigator wishes to determine aspects of solar activity responsible for irradiance and luminosity changes and apply this knowledge to modelling of irradiance changes by ground-based observations. Secondly, he wishes to gain understanding of the physical processes by which magnetic activity modifies the flow of energy from the solar interior to produce changes in luminosity and irradiance at the Earth. Finally, this project will contribute to science education by (1) involving graduate students in obtaining/analyzing data and writing a Master's thesis, and (2) having graduate and undergraduate students help new lab students in related assignments.***
