| This month’s speaker will be Dr Leon Golub, Senior Astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. The technique of using short-wavelength multilayer coatings to allow mirrors to reflect EUV wavelengths at normal incidence has led to significant improvements in spatial and spectral resolution of astronomical telescopes. Over the past three decades a continual improvement in performance of telescopes designed to image the solar atmosphere has now led to major breakthroughs in our understanding of coronal structure and dynamics. Dr Golub will discuss the methods used to construct these telescopes and the results being obtained from the most recent instruments, the Atmospheric imaging Assembly (AIA) and the Hi-C sounding rocket.
Please join us for a pre-meeting dinner discussion at Changsho, 1712 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA at 6:00pm before the meeting. |
