Abstract

The "Multi Element Telescope for Imaging and Spectroscopy" (METIS) is a coronagraph selected by the European Space Agency to be part of the payload of the Solar Orbiter mission to be launched in 2018. The mission profile will bring the Solar Orbiter spacecraft as close to the Sun as 0.3 A.U., and up to 35°out-of-ecliptic providing a unique platform for helio-synchronous observations of the Sun and its polar regions.
METIS coronagraph is designed for multi-wavelength imaging of the solar corona and for the first time in the UV. METIS can simultaneously image the visible and ultraviolet emissions of the solar corona and diagnose, with unprecedented temporal coverage and spatial resolution, the structures and dynamics of the full corona in the field-of-view (FOV) range from 1.5° to 2.9°.

Goals

Integrazione e allineamento delle diverse parti del telescopio; inclusi elementi prettamente ottici come specchi, filtri e lenti e parti dedicate alla soppressione della luce diffusa (straylight) quali setti e occultatori.
Analisi delle immagini di calibrazione.
Supporto alla creazione della pipeline di analisi dati.
