Small soft X-ray spectrometer for the Focusing Optics X-ray Solar Imager - FOXSI
Abstract
Spectrometer for Temperature and Composition (STC) will monitor solar X-ray flux between 0.8 keV and 15 with 0.2 keV emergency resolution. The instrument provide fast solar X-ray spectroscopy in the entire flux intensity range, variable seven order in intensity form quiet solar conditions to strongest flares. The exceptionally wide dynamic range of this instrument as well as its high spectral and temporal resolution and wide plasma temperature coverage will result in unprecedented measurements, crucial for energy release processes and space weather monitoring. In addition the data collected by STC will complement the main FOXSI instrument measurements and allow temperature, composition and emission measure analysis for structures seen in the solar corona.
