Conceptual design of BabyIAXO helioscope. BabyIAXO [13] is an intermediate scale version of the IAXO experiment with axion discovery potential and a FOM around 100 times larger than CAST. It will also serve as a technological prototype of all the subsystems of the helioscope as an first step to explore further improvements to the final IAXO ...
A helioscope is an instrument used in observing the Sun and sunspots. The helioscope was first used by Benedetto Castelli (1578-1643) and refined by Galileo Galilei (1564–1642). The method involves projecting an image of the sun onto a white sheet of paper suspended in a darkened room with the use of a telescope.
The CAST focuses on the solar axions using a helioscope, which is a 9.2 m superconducting LHC prototype dipole magnet. The superconductive magnet is maintained by constantly keeping it at 1.8 Kelvin using superfluid helium.
A spectrohelioscope is a type of solar telescope designed by George Ellery Hale in 1924 to allow the Sun to be viewed in a selected wavelength of light. The name comes from Latin- and Greek-based words: "Spectro," referring to the optical spectrum, "helio," referring to the Sun, and "scope," as in telescope.
The solar disk observed in four different wavelengths of ultraviolet radiation by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly spectroheliograph on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory.
At the time of its opening, the observatory housed a meridian transit telescope which was used to provide official time for the city of Des Moines (in addition to the main telescope in the dome). [2] The observatory building was designed by Des Moines architect Frank E. Wetherell. The cost of building's construction was approximately $200,000 ...
