CAREER: Next Generation Solar Instrumentation: High-Resolution Observations of Small-Scale Magnetic Fields

一个近红外成像磁力仪（IRIM）和实时图像重建系统将设计，开发，并由PI和学生助理部署。 这项工作利用了新的太阳能研究中心（CfSR）光学实验室，该实验室提供了一个理想的环境，让学生参与仪器建设和研究的协调计划。 这些仪器部署在由新泽西理工学院运营的大熊太阳观测站后，收集的数据将用于支持研究和论文项目。 这些仪器的科学目标是解决太阳磁对流的一些基本长度和时间尺度。 最终，这些内在尺度与太阳变化的全球方面有关，因此与影响地球环境的太阳基本物理过程有关，即，通信技术、电网、民用和军用资产、太空中的人类，最后是陆地气候。

A Near InfraRed Imaging Magnetograph (IRIM) and a real-time image reconstruction system will be designed, developed, and deployed by the PI and student assistants. The effort capitalizes on the new Center for Solar Research (CfSR) optical laboratories, which present an ideal environment to involve students in a coordinated program of instrument construction and research. After the instruments are deployed at the Big Bear Solar Observatory, which is operated by the New Jersey Institute of Technology, the gathered data will be used to support research and thesis projects. The scientific objective of these instruments is to resolve some of the fundamental length and time scales of solar magneto-convection. Ultimately these intrinsic scales are related to the global aspects of solar variability and therefore to basic physical processes on the sun that affect the Earth environment, i.e., communications technology, the power grid, civil and military assets, humans in space, and in the end, the terrestrial climate.
