AbstractThe feasibility of a balloon-borne experiment to understand how the magnetic fields at the solar surface emerge, coalesce, unravel and erupt in solar flares was studied. A key component of the Flare Genesis instrument will be a solar telescope with an 0.8-meter-diameter lightweight mirror. Effects of pendulation and jitter, gravity and temperature on the images formed by the telescope were studied to determine whether it will maintain the desired resolution of ∼0.2 sec of arc at float altitude. The principal conclusions of the study are that (1)sufficient image stability can be maintained at the focal plane; (2) polarization sensitivity of 2 × 10−4 is achievable; and (3) the data system can store ∼ 2000 magnetograms on-board in the course of a 10-to-14-day Antarctic flight.
