Aims. Metis is the first solar coronagraph designed for a space mission and is capable of
performing simultaneous imaging of the off-limb solar corona in both visible and UV light …

METIS coronagraph is designed to observe the solar corona with an annular field of view
from 1.5 to 2.9 degrees in the visible broadband (580-640 nm) and in the UV HI Lyman …

In this chapter, we review the status of the art of the three-dimensional (3D) time-dependent
magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models of solar wind. We first highlight the influence of …

Metis is the solar coronagraph selected for the payload of the ESA Solar Orbiter mission.
Metis will acquire simultaneous imaging in linearly polarized, broadband visible light (580 …

The METIS coronagraph is one of the instruments part of the payload of the ESA–Solar
Orbiter mission to be launched in 2017. The spacecraft will operate much like a planetary …

Accurate measurements of optical properties of multilayer (ML) mirrors and chemical
compositions of interdiffusion layers are particularly challenging to date. In this work, an …

Metis is a solar coronagraph mounted on-board the Solar Orbiter ESA spacecraft. Solar
Orbiter is scheduled for launch in February 2020 and it is dedicated to study the solar and …

Thanks to the launch of SOHO in the end of 1995 and to the continuous monitoring of the
white light (WL) corona offered by the LASCO coronagraphs, it was discovered that …

The Solar Orbiter/Metis visible and UV solar coronagraph redefines the concept of external
occultation in solar coronagraphy. Classical externally occulted coronagraphs are …

Metis is an inverted occulted coronagraph on-board the ESA/Solar Orbiter mission. The
visible light path of the instrument will observe the" white" light (580-640 nm) linearly …
