Abstract

A solar magnetograph without electronics or any moving parts has been designed. The principle is the use of a subtracting double-dispersion optical system. The exposure time is of the order of 1 sec.

Preliminary results obtained at the Swedish Astrophysical Observatory at Anacapri indicate that this method could be convenient to use in space vehicles when aiming at high spatial resolution of solar magnetic fields.
