Description
We present a preliminary analysis of penumbral spectra observed with unprecedented angular resolution (0.2 arcsec) using the new Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope. The use of a non-magnetic line allows us to measure Doppler shifts without magnetic contamination. The observed Doppler shifts depend on the part of the line used for measuring, indicating that the velocity structure of penumbrae remains unresolved even with our resolution. We find a correlation between upflows and bright filaments. This association is not specific of the outer penumbra but it also occurs in the inner penumbra. The existence of such correlation was originally reported by tet{m1 BS69}, and it is suggestive of energy transport by convection in penumbrae.

    Co-phasing the distributed aperture of a Fizeau interferometer via photonic lanterns and machine learning
    The advantage of large optical telescopes from the ground for high-contrast direct imaging relies on achieving exquisite control of the incident optical wavefront. Since the exoplanet problem almost always has a bright star within a small field of view there are usually ample photons for measuring the atmospheric and telescopedistorted wavefront. A

    Conceptual optical design of the infrared integral field spectropolarimeter for the European Solar Telescope
    The European Solar Telescope (EST), with its primary mirror of 4.2 diameter, will be the largest solar telescope available in Europe. EST will offer Integral Field Spectropolarimetry (IFS) by incorporating the EST spectropolariMeter Based on slicEr-mirrors for the near-infraRed (EMBER). This instrument is a high-resolution spectropolarimeter that
