Descripción
The Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha Spectro-Polarimeter (CLASP) is a VUV spectropolarimeter optimized for measuring the linear polarization of the Lyman-alpha line (121.6 nm). The Lyman-alpha line is predicted to show linear polarization caused by atomic scattering in the chromosphere and modified by the magnetic field through the Hanle effect. The Hanle effect is sensitive to weaker magnetic fields than Zeeman effect, and is not canceled by opposing fields, making it sensitive to tangled or unresolved magnetic field structures. These factors make the Hanle effect a valuable tool for probing the magnetic field in the chromosphere above the quiet sun. To meet this goal, CLASP is designed to measure linear polarization with 0.1% polarization sensitivity at 0.01 nm spectral resolution and 10" spatial resolution. CLASP is scheduled to be launched in 2015.

    Conceptual design of the infrared integral field spectropolarimeter for the European Solar Telescope
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) will be Europe's most ambitious ground-based infrastructure in solar physics. It will have a primary mirror with a diameter of 4.2m, which will make it the largest in Europe, and of identical aperture as the largest solar telescope available worldwide, namely the Daniel K. Inouye Telescope (DKIST) installed at the

    Detector upgrade in EMIR@GTC: on-sky performances
    EMIR was shipped to the GTC on May 2016 and had its first light on June 2016. Since the beginning, the EMIR performances have been severely hampered by the many instabilities in the infrared detector, a 2048x2048 Hawaii2, built with the old original technology of the Teledyne Hawaii series. Despite of this, the instrument has proven to be powerful

    The Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE): a space mission for mid-infrared nulling interferometry
    The Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE) is a proposed space mission that enables the spectral characterization of the thermal emission of exoplanets in the solar neighborhood. The mission is designed to search for global atmospheric biosignatures on dozens of temperate terrestrial exoplanets and it will naturally investigate the diversity of
