| Abstract: |
The New Solar Telescope (NST) in Big Bear is the first facility-class
solar telescope built in the US in a generation, and it has an
off-axis design as is planned for the Advanced Technology Solar
Telescope (ATST). The NST is in regular operation with adaptive
optics (AO) correcting the light currently feeding photometric and
near-IR polarimetric systems, as well as an imaging spectrograph.
Here we show the high resolution capabilities of the NST. As well, we
sketch our plans for, and reasoning behind the next generation NST
instrumentation. |
