Understanding the solar atmosphere through spectropolarimetric observations and synthetic data

Kakenhi基金的目的是支持我在2016年左右开始的工作，以帮助开发SCIP仪器（Katsukawa et al. in preparation）。我是该仪器的项目科学家，我的主要重点是根据理论研究确定最佳设计。我在Quintero Noda et al.（2016，2017 a，B，c，2018 a，B）的一系列论文中，一步一步地研究并确定了最适合我们目的的仪器配置，即了解低层大气的太阳磁性。除了这些理论研究，我还想帮助SCIP团队提供仪器。在这方面，正如我在Kakenhi提案中提到的那样，预算旨在购买科学相机和额外的光学元件。因此，我买了相机，它已经安装在我们的实验室。我在测试它，关于效率，暗电流...以验证它是否符合我们的要求。该相机将于今年晚些时候，即2019年4月左右使用，在安装飞行相机（由国际合作伙伴于2020年初提供）之前测试偏振器和不同的光学元件。因此，Kakenhi的预算对我们来说至关重要，因为它将帮助我们按时完成仪器（预计飞行时间为2021年），因为我们可以在其他机构开发最终组件时对其进行测试。最后，这笔赠款补充了最近获得的编号为18H05234的Kakenhi S，将支付其余元素的费用以及飞行的准备工作。

The Kakenhi funding aims to support the work I started around 2016 to help in the development of the SCIP instrument (Katsukawa et al. in preparation). I am the Project Scientist of that instrument, and my main focus is to define the optimum design based on theoretical studies. I have produced a long list of publications, i.e. Quintero Noda et al. (2016, 2017a,b,c, 2018a,b), where step by step I have examined and determined the best instrumental configuration for our purposes, that is understanding the solar magnetism at the lower atmosphere.Besides those theoretical studies, I wanted to help the SCIP team providing instrumentation. In this regard, as I mentioned in the Kakenhi proposal, the budget was aimed to purchase a scientific camera and additional optical elements. Thus, I bought the camera, and it is already installed in our lab. I am testing it, regarding efficiency, dark current... to verify that it meets our requirements. This camera will be used later this year, around April 2019, when testing the polarisers and different optical elements before installing the flight cameras (provided by an international partner on early 2020). Therefore, this Kakenhi budget is crucial for us because it will help us finalise the instrument on time (the expected flight is 2021) as we can test it while the final components are developed at other institutions. Finally, this grant complements the recently obtained Kakenhi S with reference 18H05234 that will cover the expenses of the rest of the elements and also the preparations for the flight.
