Outline

1. Problem - How is the solar corona heated?
   1. Alfven Wave
   2. LASCO http://lasco-www.nrl.navy.mil/index.php?p=content/handbook/hndbk_2
2. Solution - High resolution imaging of coronal magnetic fields
   1. What are the time and length scales necessary to study coronal magnetic fields?
   2. 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
   3. Steve's two papers (Alfven and Instrumentation) are possible solutions
   4. LASCO http://lasco-www.nrl.navy.mil/index.php?p=content/handbook/hndbk_2
3. Technology - High-resolution and high-speed Scientific CMOS Cameras
4. Investigation/My Research - Low-level image processing of solar imagery
   1. Dark Frames
   2. Flat-Fields
   3. Linearization
   4. Helio-graphic registration
   5. Co-averaging
   6. Aerosol Removal
