Data pubblicazione: | 2015 | Titolo del volume in cui è pubblicato il poster: | Solar Physics and Space Weather Instrumentation VI | Curatore/i del volume in cui è pubblicato il contributo: | Fineschi, Silvano; Fennelly, Judy | Serie: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Numero: | 9604 | Da pagina:: | 96040E | Abstract: | PROBA-3/ASPIICS is a formation flying coronagraph selected by ESA and currently in its C/D phase. It is constituted by two spacecrafts (OSC, Occulter SpaceCraft, carrying the occulter, diameter 142 cm, and CSC, Coronagraph SpaceCraft, with the telescope) separated by ~144 m, kept in strict alignment by means of an active custom system. The alignment active system most critical components are the Shadow Positioning Sensors (SPS), a series of Si-PM (Silicon Photomultiplier) measuring the penumbra generated by the occulter. The arrangement of the SPSs around the telescope entrance aperture is defined as a trade-off between mechanical constraints and maximum sensitivity to misalignments. The signal detected by the SPSs can be approximately simulated with a geometrical analysis based on the variation of the penumbra generated by the external occulter. The stray light generated by the diffraction from the external occulter may affect the SPSs signal. It is mandatory to carefully evaluate its level in order to refine the active alignment adjustment algorithm. This work is dedicated to the description of the preliminary investigation performed in order to evaluate the impact of the diffraction on the SPSs signal. | Titolo del convegno: | Solar Physics and Space Weather Instrumentation VI | Luogo del convegno: | San Diego, California | Periodo del convegno: | 9 -13 August, 2015 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/24218 | URL: | https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/9604/96040E/Significance-of-the-occulter-diffraction-for-the-PROBA3-ASPIICS-formation/10.1117/12.2187916.short?SSO=1 | ISSN: | 0277-786X | ISBN: | 9781628417708 | DOI: | 10.1117/12.2187916 | Bibcode ADS: | 2015SPIE.9604E..0EL | Fulltext: | open |
