Descripción
SUNRISE is an international collaboration for the development and
operation of a meter-class balloon-borne stratospheric solar
observatory. Prime science goal is the study of structure and dynamics
of the magnetic field in the solar atmosphere and the interaction of the
magnetic field with convective plasma flows. These processes are studied
by high resolution imaging in the UV and polarimetry at visible
wavelengths. The instrument has been successfully launched on June 8,
2009 from ESRANGE, Kiruna, Northern Sweden. During the more than 5 days
flight about 1.5 TByte of scientific data were collected. The paper
gives an overview of the instrument and mission, examples of the
scientific output will also be presented. SUNRISE is a joint project of
the Max-Planck-Institut fuer Sonnensystemforschung (MPS),
Katlenburg-Lindau, with the Kiepenheuer-Institut fuer Sonnenphysik
(KIS), Freiburg, the High-Altitude Observatory (HAO), Boulder, the
Lockheed-Martin Solar and Astrophysics Lab. (LMSAL), Palo Alto, and the
Spanish IMaX consortium.
