Solar Activity: The Role and Necessity of Optical Space Observations in Solar Physics
Abstract
It is shown that, for a quantitative investigation of the physical processes producing the chromospheric structures, an angular resolution of 0.2' ' in the extreme u.v. as well as in the magnetic field measurement is indispensable. The same requirements also apply to the study of the primary flare process. The realization of such complex optical space projects will need the integration of ground, balloon and space work.
