It will be built at the <abbr><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifa.hawaii.edu\/haleakalanew\/atrc.shtml\">糖心Vlog官方<\/a><\/abbr> Advanced Technology Research Center on Maui and will be completed in time for first-light observations with <abbr>DKIST<\/abbr> in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The <abbr>CryoNIRSP<\/abbr> team on Maui is led by Principal Investigator <strong>Jeffrey Kuhn<\/strong>, Project Manager <strong>Tim Bond<\/strong> and Instrument Scientist <strong>Andre Fehlmann<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The <abbr>CryoNIRSP<\/abbr> instrument will be one of the largest astronomical instruments the Institute for Astronomy has built. It will provide the international community with a detector that brings nighttime sensitivity for observing the relatively faint outer atmosphere of the sun to the world&#8217;s largest daytime telescope,&rdquo; said Kuhn.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It is the sun&#8217;s magnetism that causes most of the sun&#8217;s influence on Earth. We know it controls the explosive energy release from the sun that damages our technology and the sun&#8217;s brightness variability that affects our climate,&rdquo; added Kuhn.<\/p>\n<p><abbr>DKIST<\/abbr> was formerly known as the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope. It was renamed in honor of the late Senator Daniel K. Inouye in December 2013.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifa.hawaii.edu\/info\/press-releases\/CryoNIRSP\/\"><em>An Institute for Astronomy news release<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8212;By Louise Good<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> Institute for Astronomy awarded major contract to build new instrument to measure solar magnetism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[34,35,1164,9],"class_list":["post-26183","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-research","tag-astronomy","tag-institute-for-astronomy","tag-telescope","tag-uh-manoa","entry","has-media"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26183","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26183"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26183\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":150771,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26183\/revisions\/150771"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26183"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26183"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
