Solar orbiter: a short review of the mission and early science results
Müller, Daniel; Harra, Louise
On 9 February 2020 at 11:03 pm EST, an Atlas V 411 rocket launched the ESA/ NASA Solar Orbiter mission. This mission was the culmination of decades of work across many countries to achieve the goal of getting close to the Sun and measuring how the Sun creates and maintains the heliosphere. The mission's goal is to understand how the inner heliosph…
Fabry-Pérot etalons in solar astronomy. A review
del Toro Iniesta, J. C.; Orozco Suárez, D.; Bailén, F. J.

The main reason is that they stand out for offering quasi-monochromatic, two-dimensional fields of view much higher than those provided by conventional slit-based spectrographs in a given time interval. Unfortunately, they also present…
