Description
UCoMP: a 20-cm Lyot coronagraph with a Stokes polarimeter and electro-optically tuned birefringent filter imaging intensity, polarization, Doppler shift and line width across visible and near-IR coronal emission lines (530–1083 nm); an upgrade of CoMP and a pathfinder for COSMO, observing since May 2021 at HAO's Mauna Loa Solar Observatory.
