AIA-The Atmospheric Imagine Assembly

Alan Title PI Representing the Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center Instrument and Science Teams, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, and Stanford University

Measuring the Sun’s Surface, Chromosphere, Transition Region, and Corona using visible and extreme Ultra-violet light.

SLIDE 2

Briefly

What is AIA?
What does it do?
What should we learn?
Where is the data?

SLIDE 3

AIA is a Full Sun Imager

The Field of View (indicated by

the orange circle)is 41 arc minutes or to about 120,000 miles above the Solar surface.

This allows observation of 96%
f the x-Ray radiance.
AIA will observe ~98% of the

emission in EVE’s field of view.

Each AIA image will covers 25

times more of the Sun than TRACE.
