Descripción
SUNRISE is a balloon-borne telescope with an aperture of one meter. It
is equipped with a filter imager for the UV wavelength range between 214
nm and 400 nm (SUFI), and with a spectro-polarimeter that measures the
magnetic field of the photosphere using the Fe I line at 525.02 nm that
has a Landé factor of 3. SUNRISE performed its first science
flight from 8 to 14 June 2009. It was launched at the Swedish ESRANGE
Space Center and cruised at an altitude of about 36 km and geographic
latitudes between 70 and 74 degrees to Somerset Island in northern
Canada. There, all data, the telescope and the gondola were successfully
recovered. During its flight, Sunrise achieved high pointing stability
during 33 hours, and recorded about 1.8 TB of science data. Already at
this early stage of data processing it is clear that SUNRISE recorded UV
images of the solar photosphere, and spectropolarimetric measurements of
the quiet Sun's magnetic field of unprecedented quality.

Los campos magnéticos son uno de los ingredientes fundamentales en la formación de estrellas y su evolución. En el nacimiento de una estrella, los campos magnéticos llegan a frenar su rotación durante el colapso de la nube molecular, y en el fin de la vida de una estrella, el magnetismo puede ser clave en la forma en la que se pierden las capas
