Optical design of the multi-wavelength imaging coronagraph Metis for the solar orbiter mission
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract This paper describes the innovative optical design of the Metis coronagraph for the Solar Orbiter ESA-NASA mission. Metis is a multi-wavelength, externally occulted telescope for the imaging of the solar corona in both the visible and ultraviolet wavelength ranges. Metis adopts a novel occultation scheme for the solar disk, that we named “inverse external occulter”, for reducing the extremely high thermal load on the instrument at the spacecraft perihelion. The core of the Metis optical design is an aplanatic Gregorian telescope common to both the visible and ultraviolet channels. A suitable dichroic beam-splitter, optimized for transmitting a narrow-band in the ultraviolet (121.6 nm, HI Lyman-α) and reflecting a broadband in the visible (580–640 nm) spectral range, is used to separate the two optical paths. Along the visible light optical path, a liquid crystal electro-optical modulator, used for the first time in space, allows making polarimetric measurements.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
