Spectral Diagnostic Capabilities of Solar-B EIS

H.E. Mason, G. Del Zanna + the EIS team

abstract: The Solar-B satellite will be launched in September 2006. This is a joint Japanese/USA/UK collaboration, which follows on from YOHKOH. The Solar-B payload will comprise three instruments: the Solar Optical Telescope, the X-ray Telescope and the EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS). SolarB is designed to study the magnetic linkage between the photosphere and the corona. EIS is designed to determine the physical parameters of features in the solar atmosphere (temperature, density and flows). It will cover the wavelength ranges 163-209 A and 242-289 A, which contain many coronal spectral lines.
