Detection of the magnetic field's signal could build the case for constructing a "coronal magnetograph," he said, which would be a more advanced version of the coronagraph that measures the magnetic properties of the corona. From Wordnik.com. [Eclipse Opens Window to Solar Eruptions] Reference
At Kew (652 miles), the horizontal force magnetograph was moved by the earthquake at about 6h. 29m. 55s. From Wordnik.com. [A Study of Recent Earthquakes] Reference
A successful flight would lead to more flights and eventually to a SUMI-style magnetograph permanently installed on a space telescope. From Wordnik.com. [Science @ NASA] Reference
SUMI's "vector magnetograph" is tuned to study a pair of spectral lines: one from triply-ionized carbon (CIV) at 155 nanometers and a second from singly-ionized magnesium. From Wordnik.com. [Science @ NASA] Reference
It is highly possible that no major discoveries will be made right away, "but it will demonstrate the SUMI concept and show us if it's going to work," Cirtain says, and maybe if all goes well, more missions of this kind will take place, perhaps culminating with the permanent installation of such a magnetograph on a future space telescope.
