Optical Solar Physics

The Sun is the only star where we can observe the intricate detail of stellar surfaces. Optical solar physics focuses on high spatial, temporal, and spectral resolution observations of the solar atmosphere with the aim to derive physical parameters such as temperature, density, plasma velocities, and the strength and direction of the magnetic field. In our research group, we combine expertise in solar instrumentation, image restoration, data analysis, and spectral inversion codes to derive as much information as possible from the Sun's photons. AIP is a partner of the German solar telescopes operated at the Observatorio del Teide, Tenerife, Spain. Our partner institutes are the Kiepenheuer Institute for Solar Physics, the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias. |
