| Abstract: |
ATST will be the world's most expensive optical telescope ever built
and provide the largest jump in our ground-based solar observing
capability since Galileo. It is more than “just a solar telescope”
as it will dominate the solar and stellar science landscape for many
years to come. Given the telescope's ground-breaking new
capabilities we should expect its initial instrumentation to have
comparable revolutionary performance and to expect “discovery”
science from the ATST soon after first light. The CryoNIRSP
instrument is one such facility and the only explicitly coronal
instrument designed to take advantage of the full ATST photometric
dynamic range, from typical daytime to night-time light flux
levels. This brief paper summarizes its design and capabilities. |
