Absolute, Extreme Ultraviolet Solar Spectral Irradiance Monitor (AESSIM)
Abstract
The goal of this research program is development of a method for obtaining daily, radiometrically accurate, solar spectral irradiance data at extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) wavelengths. In-orbit radiometric instrumentation recalibration is a fundamental requirement for such measurements. We proposed to investigate, design, and test smaller and less massive, low power, in-space version of a 'standard' EUV radiance source, which has been developed for laboratory use and to assess the merits of innovative combinations of rare-gas ionization cells and thin film filters to make absolute measurements of EUV radiation over a number of wavelength bands.
