Metis coronagraph is one of the remote-sensing instruments of the Solar Orbiter mission launched in February 2020. The mission profile will allow for the first time the remote-sensing observation of the Sun from as close as 0.28 AU and from ecliptic latitudes as high as 30?. Metis, in particular, is aimed at the study and the overall characterization of the solar corona and solar wind. This instrument is an innovative inverted-occultation coronagraph that will image the solar corona for the first time simultaneously in two different wavelength band-passes: in the linearly-polarized visible-light (VL), between 580 and 640 nm, and in the ultraviolet (UV) Lyman-a line of hydrogen, HI at 121.6 nm by combining in the same telescope UV interference mirror coatings (Al/MgF2) and spectral bandpass filters. The visible channel includes a broad-band polarimeter to observe the linearly polarized component of the K corona. These measurements will allow a complete characterization of the physical parameters, such as density and outflow speed, of the two major plasma components of the corona and the solar wind: electrons (protons) and hydrogen. After a period of commissioning, by the summer of 2020, Metis will have performed the First-light Science Observations during the “Remote-Sensing Check-out Window” (RSCW) that is a telemetry contact period, specifically allocated before entering the operational phase at the end of 2021. This presentation will report the first-light science observations of Metis represented by the UV and polarized VL images of the corona. The calibration results from the commissioning will be used for the correction of the instrumental effects. The resulting first-light maps of the coronal electron and hydrogen distributions will be presented.
