Description:
SP: FoV 80"x164", Binning: 2x2 Exposure: 3.2 sec (fast map) Scientific Objectives: Objectives: 1. To understand the temporal evolution of the polar magnetic patches and the appearance of faculae within magnetic patches during the solar cycle. 2. To understand the interaction of polar magnetic patches with opposite polarity magnetic elements leading to polarity reversal.
