Outline
- Problem - How is the solar corona heated?
- Alfven Wave
- LASCO http://lasco-www.nrl.navy.mil/index.php?p=content/handbook/hndbk_2
- Solution - High resolution imaging of coronal magnetic fields
- What are the time and length scales necessary to study coronal magnetic fields?
- 5 ms cadence and x arc seconds resolution derived from field of view (FOV) and coronagraph plate scale as well as diffraction limit of objective lens
- Steve's two papers (Alfven and Instrumentation) are possible solutions
