A glass-plate can be optionally intercalated in one of the IMaX imaging channels to get simultaneous focus-defocus image-pairs, i.e. Phase Diversity (PD) image-pairs, from which an estimate of the aberrations will be possible in post-processing by means of a PD inversion code. Assuming a long-term variation in the aberrations, their calibration could be performed with a cadence  of one hour. A burst of 25-30 PD-pairs in the continuum would be enough each time.

PART 1  Defining a method for in-flight  calibration of IMaX aberrations  a) Introduction b) Image restoration techniques d) Conclusions c) In-flight calibration of IMaX aberrations A method for the in-flight calibration of aberrations in IMaX has been proposed. The robustness of the method has been tested by numerical experiments simulating different aberration components. Sources of aberration have been modeled and added in every subsequent experiment. The repercussion of every new added ingredient in the final result from the inversions has been evaluated.

PART 1  Defining a method for in-flight  calibration of IMaX aberrations  a) Introduction b) Image restoration techniques d) Conclusions c) In-flight calibration of IMaX aberrations Main conclusions are: The PD-code does not accurately reproduce the shape of the WFE but provides reliable OTFs for satisfactory restorations. Inhomogeneities in the etalon transmission are converted into some extra errors in the resulting wavefront that partially compensate the loss of contrast caused by unsensed HOA. Experiment 3 validates the method proposed to calibrate the errors in the images of IMaX The amount of defocus (diversity) produced by the PD plate is a critical parameter for an optimal performance of the PD code.  An error of 0.5 mm in the determination of the diversity value can caused an over restoration of about 5%.

Conclusions First time we tested our algorithms in HINODE data.  Flows calculated from different solar observations are coherent and show the overall influence of exploding events in the granulation around pores. Motions toward the pores  in their nearest vicinity are dominant and are observed systematically. These motions are basically influenced by external plasma flows deposited by the exploding events.

Overall Conclusions The required software for restoration/inversion of IMaX images has been implemented in the context of this thesis and we make it available for the team. Our simulations validate the method proposed to calibrate the errors in the images of IMaX. PART 1   Defining a method for in-flight  calibration of IMaX aberrations  We have developed a method for the in-flight calibration of aberrations in IMaX. Note: Only 4 slides left !!
Moats do not appear in directions transversal to the penumbral filament ones. All detected properties for moats are also applicable to the Evershed Flow. Moats develop following the direction of the penumbral filaments in granulation surrounding sunspots. There are no signs of moatlike flows around the pores. Overall Conclusions PART 2   Study of proper motions in solar active regions   Moats are found to be directly correlated to the  presence of penumbra in sunspots. Neutral lines seem to play a role in the inhibition of moats.
Before this work .... So what  ??? Final fate of the EF unknown. Origin of moat flow unclear. After this work .... EF transforms into moat flow. In agreement with Local Helioseismology ( f-modes ) evidence:  moat flow is only 2 Mm deep.

What for ???? The material presented here comes from the analysis of images in the continuum with short exposure times  ~10 ms (static atmosphere) and combining many images (~100 continuum, ~1500 SOUP) but still low SNR values are reached. IMaX will do polarimetry with: negligible atmospheric turbulence, high SNR,  diffraction limit,  during hours  and furthermore double spatial resolution  (from 0.2 to 0.1 arcsec)
Why using speckle ???? The speckle summation has been employed as a way (resource) to determine the robustness of the calibration method we propose to characterize the aberrations in IMaX. though in the real case IMaX images are be meant to restored as single PD-pairs with no speckle summation at all.
Image blurring permitted for an instrument can be specified by the diameter of the blur spot or angle subtended by it. For instance, we can select the angle as the value of the diffraction cut-off that is slightly greater than the Airy FWHM. Nevertheless this criterion is quite severe and some more flexible ones establish the limit of the defocus tolerance based on the loss of intensity in the central part of the PSF. Defocus Tolerance
Why PD if it does not reproduce exactly the WFE ?? We get reliable OTFs to solve our deconvolution problem. Because The error metric depends directly on this OTF. Dispersion of coefficients is low and we do not expect cancellations in the WFE.  Repeatability We have inverted real images for different noise realizations and the dispersion of the wavefront is small.
Why uncorrelated signal and noise assumption ?? Photon noise is certainly a function of the intensity there are some other noise contributions:  Readout and noise related to the fluctuations in atmospheric transparency which are not Nevertheless, Uncorrelated noise and signal is in general a useful approximation giving good results in simulations
Small-scale irregularities in the wavefront error are not detectable by the PD-code if we use a finite (rather low) number of Zernike terms. Please goto Pag 78. This limitation mainly produces stray-light over the restored image and consequently a loss of contrast. This effect is tolerable within certain margins, and fixes constraints to the polishing quality in the SUNRISE main mirror and the inhomogeneities in the IMaX etalon.
The residual errors in the proposed calibration method induce, in turn, errors in the subsequent restoration mean ( i t  -  i r ) < 2.5%  loss of contrast < 5% IMaX case

  • 40. PART 1 Defining a method for in-flight calibration of IMaX aberrations a) Introduction b) Image restoration techniques d) Conclusions c) In-flight calibration of IMaX aberrations Main conclusions are: The PD-code does not accurately reproduce the shape of the WFE but provides reliable OTFs for satisfactory restorations. Inhomogeneities in the etalon transmission are converted into some extra errors in the resulting wavefront that partially compensate the loss of contrast caused by unsensed HOA. Experiment 3 validates the method proposed to calibrate the errors in the images of IMaX The amount of defocus (diversity) produced by the PD plate is a critical parameter for an optimal performance of the PD code. An error of 0.5 mm in the determination of the diversity value can caused an over restoration of about 5%.

  • 98. What for ???? The material presented here comes from the analysis of images in the continuum with short exposure times ~10 ms (static atmosphere) and combining many images (~100 continuum, ~1500 SOUP) but still low SNR values are reached. IMaX will do polarimetry with: negligible atmospheric turbulence, high SNR, diffraction limit, during hours and furthermore double spatial resolution (from 0.2 to 0.1 arcsec)
  • 99. Why using speckle ???? The speckle summation has been employed as a way (resource) to determine the robustness of the calibration method we propose to characterize the aberrations in IMaX. though in the real case IMaX images are be meant to restored as single PD-pairs with no speckle summation at all.
  • 100. Image blurring permitted for an instrument can be specified by the diameter of the blur spot or angle subtended by it. For instance, we can select the angle as the value of the diffraction cut-off that is slightly greater than the Airy FWHM. Nevertheless this criterion is quite severe and some more flexible ones establish the limit of the defocus tolerance based on the loss of intensity in the central part of the PSF. Defocus Tolerance
  • 101. Why PD if it does not reproduce exactly the WFE ?? We get reliable OTFs to solve our deconvolution problem. Because The error metric depends directly on this OTF. Dispersion of coefficients is low and we do not expect cancellations in the WFE. Repeatability We have inverted real images for different noise realizations and the dispersion of the wavefront is small.
  • 102. Why uncorrelated signal and noise assumption ?? Photon noise is certainly a function of the intensity there are some other noise contributions: Readout and noise related to the fluctuations in atmospheric transparency which are not Nevertheless, Uncorrelated noise and signal is in general a useful approximation giving good results in simulations
  • 103. Small-scale irregularities in the wavefront error are not detectable by the PD-code if we use a finite (rather low) number of Zernike terms. Please goto Pag 78. This limitation mainly produces stray-light over the restored image and consequently a loss of contrast. This effect is tolerable within certain margins, and fixes constraints to the polishing quality in the SUNRISE main mirror and the inhomogeneities in the IMaX etalon.
  • 104. The residual errors in the proposed calibration method induce, in turn, errors in the subsequent restoration mean ( i t - i r ) < 2.5% loss of contrast < 5% IMaX case
