Coronagraph instrumentation - report of Payload Splinter Group 2
Abstract
This brief report gives an account of the main points discussed during the Payload Splinter Group meetings dedicated to the coronagraphic instrumentation on the Solar Orbiter. In particular this report presents the main scientific goals that can be achieved through a combination of ultraviolet and visible light coronagraphy by taking advantage of the unique characteristics of the Solar Orbiter mission, the observations and the instrumentation required to reach these goals, the complementarity of the coronagraphic instrumentation to the other remote-sensing and in situ Solar Orbiter instruments and to the other space programs foreseen when the Orbiter will operate.
