  2. Why is YNST? After Solar-B launch, what can we do by using of ground-based telescope ? • Detailed chromosphere diagnostics • Special magnetic field observations (IR, hyperfine-structure of atoms) • Higher angle resolution ----- B. W. Lites ( at THEMIS user meeting )

  3. What is YNST? • An optical system of 1-meter aperture: resolution < 0.3 arcsec (200 km), vacuum tube, AO • Symmetric structure for accurate measurement of magnetic field: Gregorian telescope, 10-4 polarization analyzer, I, Q, U, V • Focal instrument of high resolution: Filter-based image Fabry-Perot filter, magnetograph, high spectral resolution • Multi-wavelength observations: Multi-wavelength spectrograph, Near-Infrared detectors • High accuracy tracking and pointing system: Auto guiding system, correlating tracker

  4. YNST’s Spectral Range • The Sun will be observed within the range from 3,000 to 25,000 Å. • This range spans the spectrum from UV to near IR. • Information includes those of the photosphere, the chromosphere, and the corona. • Spectral lines include both magnetic field and plasma flow sensitive ones.

  16. Spectral Lines of Interest (Ph+Ch) • FeI (6301.5+6302.5): Photospheric line sensitive to magnetic field. • H: Traditional line used to observe flares. • CaII (8542): Chromospheric line sensitive to magnetic field. • HeI (10830): Good for observations of the filament magnetic field.

  17. YNST’s Scientific Goals & Tasks • Observational data of high resolutions in both time and space for magnetic field of fine structures. • Properties of tiny fibrils, or flux tubes of kilo-gauss magnetic field. • Coupling of magnetic field and mass motions, and energy transportation from the photosphere to the corona. • Conducting multi-wavelength observations and data analyses; providing forefront observational data and opportunities to the research communities.
