The MOF at South Pole Italian-American Research Collaboration Amundsen-Scott Station December 2002 – January 2003

A collaboration between Maui Scientific Research Center (University of New Mexico) –Phd Stuart Jefferies –Phd Wolfgang Finsterle –Allister Knox –Cinthya Gebienk University of Roma “La Sapientia” –Prof. Alessandro Cacciani –Paolo Rapex –Vincenzo Di Martino –Berenice Subrizi

Experiment Objectives Seismically map the sound speed of the sun's lower atmosphere using high-frequency sound waves Improve the models for the sun's atmosphere Space Weather : early warning to explosive phenomena (flares, CME, …)

The velocity and intensity signals are detected at two different heights in the solar atmosphere (two Magneto-Optical Filters tuned to the solar K and Na absorption lines ) The instrument has been given the name M O T H M agneto O ptical filters at T wo H eights Experiment Description

2 MOFs tuned to the K (7699 A –D1) and Na (5890 A – D2) lines Acquisition of separate and simultaneous images in the Red and Blue flanks of the above absorption lines 2 compact Telescopes (48 mm diam) 4 x 12-bit digital Cameras, running at 16 frames/s 10 s integration time for each recorded 16 bit image 1 TeraByte Raid Hard Disk recording System Experiment Description
