4 Page 4COSPAR2006-A-01469 HMI SDO Science Requirements What mechanisms drive the quasi-periodic 11-year cycle of solar activity? How is active region magnetic flux synthesized, concentrated & dispersed across the solar surface? How does magnetic reconnection on small scales reorganize the large-scale field topology and current systems? How significant is it in heating the corona and accelerating the solar wind? Where do the observed variations in the Sun’s total & spectral irradiance arise, how do they relate to the magnetic activity cycle? What magnetic field configurations lead to CMEs, filament eruptions and flares which produce energetic particles and radiation? Can the structure & dynamics of the solar wind near Earth be determined from the magnetic field configuration & atmospheric structure near the solar surface? When will activity occur and is it possible to make accurate and reliable forecasts of space weather and climate?

Atlas V carries Rainbow 1 into orbit, July 2003.

Its overall length along the sun- pointing axis is 4.5 m, and each side is 2.22 m. The span of the extended solar panels is 6.25 m. Total available power is 1450 W from 6.5 m 2 of solar arrays (efficiency of 16%). The high-gain antennas rotate once each orbit to follow the Earth. AIA (1 of 4 telescopes) EVE (looking at CCD radiator and front) HMI (looking down from top) High-gain antennas (1 of 2)

10 Page 10COSPAR2006-A-01469 HMI SDO Operations Mission operations for SDO are at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center near Washington, DC. Communications with the spacecraft are via two radio dishes at NASA's site in the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The main tasks of the controllers are to keep SDO pointing at the Sun, maintain its inclined geosynchronous orbit, and keep the data flowing. A scientific team, led by NASA and instrument project scientists, plans and executes programs of observations with SDO’s 3 instruments suites, and analyzes the data. Unique Operations Mode –Few observing modes: turn it on and let the data flow! –Raw images are sent to the ground for processing –Data is made available soon after downlink; people can use the data in near-real-time –Campaigns and collaborations are coordinated where convenient, but the data is always available TDRSS antennae in White Sands Missile Range

11 Page 11COSPAR2006-A-01469 HMI Mission Orbit Overview The SDO geosynchronous orbit will result in two eclipse seasons with a variable daily eclipse each day –The two eclipse seasons will occur each year –During each eclipse season, SDO will move through the earth’s shadow- this shadow period will grow to a maximum of ~72 minutes per day, then subside accordingly as the earth-sun geometry moves out of the SDO eclipse season Eclipse season effects: –Instrument Interruption to SDO science collection Thermal impacts to instrument optical system due to eclipse –Power Temporary reduction or loss of power from solar arrays Battery sizing includes eclipse impact –Thermal S/C thermal design considerations due to bi-annual eclipses

26 Page 26COSPAR2006-A-01469 HMI Upcoming Tests Suntest2 –Mostly repeat what was done in first suntest Verify that instrument has been properly reassembled –Check for gross errors –Check that earlier problems have been corrected Eg. Birefringence in focus block –Provide data to adjust various components Eg. Calmode lenses, waveplate rotation, CCDs, … –Check software Must be in good shape before actual calibrations In-air calibration –Gather actual calibration data Some, such as part of polarization may not be doable in vacuum Vacuum calibration –Repeat most in-air calibrations with lower noise –Some items only doable in vacuum (E.g. Noise tests)

27 Page 27COSPAR2006-A-01469 HMI Sun Test Objectives Learn how to operate the HMI optics package. Learn how to characterize/calibrate the instrument. Discover gross errors in design or workmanship of the HMI optics package. Determine position of focus to set the final shim on the secondary lens. Determine position of waveplates in polarization selector to set the final orientation relative to hollow core motor step locations. Results of the Sun test will directly feed into the plans and procedures for the formal test and calibration series. The Sun test does not provide formal verification of any requirements. The Sun test does not provide final calibration data. The instrument had not been finally assembled during first Sun test. –Several components were missing. –Several components have since been changed. –Test setup was under development. –Test procedures and analysis software were under development.

34 Page 34COSPAR2006-A-01469 HMI Primary goal: origin of solar variability The primary goal of the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) investigation is to study the origin of solar variability and to characterize and understand the Sun’s interior and the various components of magnetic activity. HMI produces data to determine the interior sources and mechanisms of solar variability and how the physical processes inside the Sun are related to surface and coronal magnetic fields and activity.

35 Page 35COSPAR2006-A-01469 HMI HMI Science Objectives HMI science objectives are grouped into five broad categories: –Convection-zone dynamics How does the solar cycle work? –Origin and evolution of sunspots, active regions and complexes of activity What drives the evolution of spots and active regions? –Sources and drivers of solar activity and disturbances How and why is magnetic complexity expressed as activity? –Links between the internal processes and dynamics of the corona and heliosphere What are the large scale links between the important domains? –Precursors of solar disturbances for space-weather forecasts What are the prospects for prediction? These objectives are divided into 18 sub-objectives each of which needs data from multiple HMI data products.

56 Page 56COSPAR2006-A-01469 HMI The AIA team will stimulate joint observing and analysis. –Coordinated observing increases the coverage of the global Sun-Earth system (e.g., STEREO, coronagraph, wind monitors, …), provides complementary observations for the solar field (e.g., vector field, H  filament data) and its atmosphere (Solar-B/EIS spectral information). And it increases interest in analysis of AIA data. –The AIA team includes PI’s and Co-I’s from several other space and ground based instruments committed to coordination (perhaps “whole fleet months”): EVE and HMI needs have been carefully taken into account in setting plate scale, field of view, cadence, and channel selections, and in science themes.

70 Page 70COSPAR2006-A-01469 HMI Conclusion Tests progressing –Some tests done –Some not Some problems found –Some fixed –Some still need work –No showstoppers! Lots of data to analyze –Over 10000 images so far –Need people Stay tuned! Ask not what HMI can do for you! Ask what you can do for HMI!

71 Page 71COSPAR2006-A-01469 HMI CCD and Camera Flat Field –Details still to be worked out Linearity and gain –Still to be done. –Difficult due to thermal noise and camera drifts –Drifts believed due to known problem with this particular camera Quadrant crosstalk –Probably has to await vacuum test due to high thermal noise in air

72 Page 72COSPAR2006-A-01469 HMI Filter transmission Wavelength and spatial dependence –Phase maps have been made with laser and Sun –Test equipment problems for wavelength dependence. Believed fixable. –Elements will be replaced (decided before this test) Angular (as seen from detector) dependence –Still to be done Stability –Will try, but oven stability in air likely insufficient Throughput –Looks good –But gain drifts make things difficult

74 Page 74COSPAR2006-A-01469 HMI Polarization Some data taken, but much analysis still to be done Significant problem found. –Linear polarization into instrument gives circular polarization of up to +/- 0.4!
