Advantages: Dome C vs Space & Ground
• Very high resolution, duty cycle and access to IR, before Solar
C and/or HiRISE like (Cosmic Vision) mission Ó waves
• Coronagraphy in parallel (and in IR), complementing ESA
PROBA3/ASPIICS (2016) [Fe XIV (530 nm) line with FP only]
• Better control (small size, aperture ratio) of polarization of
AFSIIC compare to NST (fixed mirror angles: calibration)
• Permanent high resolution in IR lines that form in Tmin (CO
lines at 4.5 µm), min opacity (1.6 µm) or chromosphere–TR B
Field at 12 µm and in forbidden lines
• Intensity line ratios in IR of the Fe XIII line: 1074.7/1079.8 and
3.388/1074.7 Ó electron density
