The European Solar Telescope (EST) is a next generation large-aperture solar telescope for Europe.
Sobre nosotros
The European Solar Telescope (EST), promoted by the The European Association for Solar Telescopes (EAST), is a next generation large-aperture solar telescope. This 4-metre telescope will be optimised for studies of the magnetic coupling between the deep photosphere and upper chromosphere of the Sun. This will require diagnostics of the thermal, dynamic and magnetic properties of the plasma over many scale heights, by using multiple wavelength imaging, spectroscopy and spectropolarimetry. To achieve these goals, the EST will specialise in high spatial and temporal resolution using various instruments simultaneously that can efficiently produce 2D spectral information. EST will be located in Canary Islands (Spain), one of the first-class locations for astronomical observations. EST is listed on the ESFRI roadmap since 2016.

Though this event didn't head toward Earth, it provided valuable data to improve models for understanding CMEs and their potential impact on Earth. 🌎 📸 Movie credit: ESA/NASA/SOHO ✍🏻 Text credit: NASA's Goddard Media Studios More information on this solar phenomenon here https://lnkd.in/dqp9Bby3 #ESFRI #ERIC #ResearchInfraestructures #solarphysics #Sun #Astronomy

The European Solar Telescope project is progressing through a significant review phase.🔭🌞👏🏻 International experts are evaluating the optics and adaptive optics preliminary design of EST👉🏻 The feasibility of the optics manufacturing schedule, the selection and implementation of engineering budgets, the stability of the AO image, and the influence of vibrations are some of the key aspects under review. A summary, the expert review panel will verify that the EST optical design and the AO design are sufficiently detailed and fulfil the scientific and technical requirements of the telescope. 🔭 All details here ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/d78Sni9N #ERIC #ResearchInfraestructures #ESFRI #solarphysics #Sun #Astronomy

When viewed from the side away from disk center and at high spatial resolution, Ellerman bombs are flame-like structures that stick out vertically from the inter granular lanes. The image shows the evolution of an Ellerman bomb. The small subfield contains the most prominent Ellerman bomb.

There, the gas moves downwards into subsurface layers. The two images show the continuum intensity at 617.3 recorded by the instrument 4 minutes apart (so that the evolution can be observed). ☀️ Magnetic bright points represent features with intense magnetic fields. They appear bright in continuum intensity because they are evacuated (less dense) and therefore less opaque than the surroundings, so that we observe deeper into the solar atmosphere where the temperature is higher. 🌡️ 📸 Image credits: Luis Bellot Rubio (IAA-CSIC), Sara Esteban Pozuelo (IAA-CSIC), Ada Ortiz (ITA) 🔭 Observation: Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope More information on this solar phenomenon here ⬇ https://lnkd.in/dKZGCdQR #ESFRI #ERIC #ResearchInfraestructures #solarphysics #Sun #Astronomy

Above active regions there are long, horizontal fibrils that connect sunspots or plage of opposity polarity. We can also see dynamic fibrils, which are shorter, more vertical and much more dynamical. 🔁 📹 This movie shows a spectral scan of the quiet Sun across the H-alpha line. Positions in the far line wings sample the photosphere. Toward the line core, the images sample progressively higher layers of the atmosphere, up to the upper chromosphere. ☀️ ️ 🎥 Movie credit: Michiel van Noort and Luc Rouppe van der Voort (ITA, University of Oslo) 🔭 Source: SST Galleries More information on this observation here https://lnkd.in/dFtm75_F #ESFRI #ERIC #ResearchInfraestructures #solarphysics #Sun #Astronomy
