Abstract

The Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) is an instrument on the Aditya-L1 mission of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) launched on 2 September 2023. SUIT continuously provides near-simultaneous full-disk and region-of-interest images of the Sun, slicing through the photosphere and chromosphere and covering a field of view up to 1.5 solar radii. For this purpose, SUIT uses 11 filters tuned at different wavelengths in the 200 – 400 nm range, including the Mg ii h and k and Ca ii H spectral lines. The observations made by SUIT help us understand the magnetic coupling of the lower and middle solar atmosphere. In addition, for the first time, this allows for the measurements of spatially resolved solar broad-band radiation in the near- and mid-ultraviolet, which will help constrain the variability of the solar ultraviolet irradiance in a wavelength range that is central for the chemistry of ozone and oxygen the Earth’s stratosphere. This paper discusses the details of the instrument and data products.
