Description
High resolution solar images in the near UV have been obtained with the Solar UV Filtergraph (SUFI) onboard the Sunrise balloon borne observatory, amongst others in wavelength regions not accessible from the ground. We present intensity distributions of the quiet Sun at different heliocentric angles, from disk center to the solar limb. These results, obtained in spectral windows at 214 nm, 313 nm (OH band), 388 nm (CN band) and 396.7 nm (CaIIH), represent an important validation of numerical models of the solar photosphere and are, thus, fundamental ingredients for our understanding of the thermal processes in the solar surface region.

    Phase diversity application on the EST MCAO testbench
    Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a

    First light of the upgraded Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    For more than ten years, the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) has been the infrared spectropolarimeter on the Gregor telescope since its inauguration in 2012. The instrument mainly performs polarimetric observations of the wavelength regions at 1083 and 1565nm, which have high scientific potential. There, observers can find spectral lines that
