Mgll linear polarization measurements using the MSFC Solar Ultraviolet Magnetograph

摘要

This paper will describe the Marshall Space Flight Center's Solar Ultraviolet Magnetograph (SUMI) sounding rocket program, with emphasis on the polarization characteristics of the VUV optics and their spectral, spatial and polarization resolution. SUMFs first flight (7/30/2010) met all of its mission success criteria and this paper will describe the data that was acquired with emphasis on the Mgll linear polarization measurements.
