ADITYA-L1 is India's first dedicated mission to observe the Sun and its atmosphere from a halo orbit around L1 point. Visible emission line coronagraph (VELC) is the primary payload on board Aditya-L1 to observe the Sun's corona. VELC is designed as an internally occulted reflective coronagraph to meet the observational requirements of wide wavelength band and the field of view close to the solar limb (1.05 R Sun ). Images of the solar corona in continuum and spectra in three emission lines 5303 Å [Fe xiv], 7892 Å [Fe xi] and 10747 Å [Fe xiii] obtained with high cadence are to be analyzed using software algorithms automatically. A reasonable part of these observations will be made in a synoptic mode in which the data are processed through a standard pipeline and the resulting products will be made available for public use. The procedure involves the calibration of instrument and detectors, converting the images into the FITS format, correcting the images and spectra for the instrumental effects, and aligning the images (in terms of position angles and image scales) etc. Then, develop image processing algorithms to detect the occurrence of energetic events using continuum images. Also derive physical parameters, such as temperature and velocity structure of solar corona using emission line observations. Here, we describe the calibration of detectors and the development of software algorithms to detect the occurrence of CMEs and analyze the spectroscopic data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CORONAGRAPHS , *CORONAL mass ejections , *SOLAR corona , *MAGNETIC field measurements , *SIGNAL-to-noise ratio - Abstract
Solar coronagraph mimics total solar eclipse by blocking the solar disk and enabling the observation of extended coronal atmosphere of the Sun. Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC), on-board Aditya-L1 space mission, is an internally occulted solar coronagraph capable of simultaneous imaging, spectroscopy and spectro-polarimetry close to the solar limb. This payload is designed to study the coronal plasma and heating of the solar corona. Studying development, dynamics and origin of coronal mass ejections and measurement of coronal magnetic fields over active regions are other important science goals. VELC is designed to image the solar corona at 500 nm with an angular resolution of 5" over a field of view (FOV) of 1.05-3 Ro. It also facilitates simultaneous multi-slit spectroscopy at three emission lines, viz. Fe XIV (530.3 nm), Fe XI (789.2 nm) and Fe XIII (1074.7 nm) with a spectral resolution of 28, 31 and 202 mÅ/pixel respectively, over an FOV of 1.05-1.5 Ro. The payload has a dual-beam spectro-polarimetry channel for magnetic field measurements at 1074.7 nm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CORONAL mass ejections , *CORONAGRAPHS , *SOLAR corona , *WAVELENGTHS , *ATMOSPHERE - Abstract
The outer atmosphere of the sun - called the corona - has been observed during total solar eclipse for short periods (typically < 6 min), from as early as the eighteenth century. In the recent past, space-based instruments have permitted us to study the corona uninterruptedly. In spite of these developments, the dynamic corona and its high temperature (1-2 million K) are yet to be fully understood. It is conjectured that their dynamic nature and associated energetic events are possible reasons behind the high temperature. In order to study these in detail, a visible emission line space solar coronagraph is being proposed as a payload under the small-satellite programme of the Indian Space Research Organisation. The satellite is named as Aditya-1 and the scientific objectives of this payload are to study: (i) the existence of intensity oscillations for the study of wavedriven coronal heating; (ii) the dynamics and formation of coronal loops and temperature structure of the coronal features; (iii) the origin, cause and acceleration of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and other solar active features, and (iv) coronal magnetic field topology and three-dimensional structures of CMEs using polarization information. The uniqueness of this payload compared to previously flown space instruments is as follows: (a) observations in the visible wavelength closer to the disk (down to 1.05 solar radii); (b) high time cadence capability (better than two-images per second), and (c) simultaneous observations of at least two spectral windows all the time and three spectral windows for short durations.
