Abstract

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has built, and now operates the 1.6-meter Goode Solar Telescope (GST) at the Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO), which was the highest-resolution solar telescope built in the U.S. in a generation. GST observations have been put in a campaign mode to support the NASA Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission during its perihelia in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, by providing unique high-resolution observations and critically complementary information on the photosphere and chromosphere at the source regions of solar wind acceleration and heating of solar corona. This paper presents the acquisition, processing, and archiving of high-resolution imaging spectroscopy and polarimetry data generated with GST instruments, as well as the preliminary scientific results.
