THEMIS Vector Magnetograph in Canary Islands

The Télescope Héliographique pour l’Etude du Magnétisme et des Instabilités Solaires (THEMIS) has been operating in the Canary Islands since 1998. A total of 187 publications are listed in the THEMIS database. The telescope was upgraded in 2019 with adaptive optics and was fully operational in 2024. When operated in polarimetric mode, the telescope is calibration-free and has a high polarimetric sensitivity, which enables important results to be obtained. We will summarize a few of these results, obtained mainly during coordinate campaigns with the multi-spacecraft, outlined as follows: the horizontal magnetic field in prominences, the existence of flux rope in flare regions, and the magnetic field interchange reconnection between jets and filaments.

Abstract

The Télescope Héliographique pour l’Etude du Magnétisme et des Instabilités Solaires (THEMIS) has been operating in the Canary Islands since 1998. A total of 187 publications are listed in the THEMIS database. The telescope was upgraded in 2019 with adaptive optics and was fully operational in 2024. When operated in polarimetric mode, the telescope is calibration-free and has a high polarimetric sensitivity, which enables important results to be obtained. We will summarize a few of these results, obtained mainly during coordinate campaigns with the multi-spacecraft, outlined as follows: the horizontal magnetic field in prominences, the existence of flux rope in flare regions, and the magnetic field interchange reconnection between jets and filaments.
