'With the 'Parker' solar probe launched into the United States, the Chinese grassland 'Tianyan' began to pay close attention to this detector and will interact with relevant scientific research on solar observation. 'International Astronomical Union Sun and Nikko Branch Chairman, Yan Yihua, director of the Key Laboratory of Solar Activities of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said.
At 15:31 on August 12th, Beijing time, a heavy-duty launch vehicle carrying a 'Parker' solar probe was launched from the United States. According to reports, the US 'Parker' solar probe will fly around the elliptical orbit, passing 7 The gravitational orbital change that passes through the vicinity of Venus gradually approaches the sun, and its minimum near-day point is about 6.1 million kilometers from the surface of the sun, much closer than the distance between Mercury and the Sun.
The 'Parker' solar probe has a planned mission period of 7 years. During this period, with the new equipment put into use, the Chinese grassland 'Tianyan' - Ming'an map radio spectrum imager will be more powerful, becoming the most observing ability on the earth. Strong dedicated solar radio spectrum imaging equipment, which means that both can conduct more scientific observations of solar observations.
The reporter learned that in the future, with the completion of the major national science and technology infrastructure projects such as the Ming'an Tumibo 10m wave radio imager and the interplanetary scintillation telescope, the radio observation range of the Chinese grassland 'Tianyan' will be 700,000 from the surface of the sun. The meter expanded to 7 million kilometers, overlapping with the observation range of the 'Parker' solar detector.
Yan Yihua said that one of the scientific tasks of the 'Parker' solar probe is to study how the solar wind accelerates to leave the sundial into space, and the interplanetary scintillation telescope that China is about to build is used to detect the three-dimensional structure of the interplanetary solar wind, and it is built. Later, it will become the world's most sensitive and best performing interplanetary scintillation telescope.
'From the scope of observation, or from specific scientific tasks, the Chinese grassland 'Tianyan' will form a scientific interaction with the 'Parker' solar detector. The observation data of both sides can be simultaneously analyzed, two-way proof, and complement each other. ' Yan Yihua Say.
