1. Science/Technical Highlight
A team of DKIST scientists and engineers traveled to the Leibniz-Institut für Sonnenphysik (KIS; previously known as the Kiepenheuer-Institut für Sonnenphysik) in Freiburg, Germany to help conduct the laboratory acceptance testing of the Visible Tunable Filter (VTF) instrument. The VTF will be the fifth DKIST instrument to be delivered by KIS as in-kind contribution to the facility in exchange for guaranteed time on the telescope for the German solar physics community. It successfully completed its laboratory acceptance testing in late July 2023 and is scheduled to be delivered and installed on DKIST in early 2024. The VTF has been under development for nearly a decade and is arguably the most highly anticipated DKIST instrument for the global solar physics community. For more information see:
