| Abstract | The Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) onboard the Aditya-L1 mission will observe the Sun in the wavelength range 200-400 nm using 11 science filters centered at different wavelengths. It will provide full disk and partial disk images with a pixel size of 0.7 arcsec and variable time resolution that will depend on the size of the region of interest and the number of filters being used. The observations from SUIT will help us understand the coupling and dynamics of the lower solar atmosphere. Moreover, it will help us measure and monitor the spatially resolved solar spectral irradiance in near ultraviolet, which is central to the dynamics of oxygen and ozone in the Earth's stratosphere. This talk will summarise the primary science goals of SUIT and salient technical features. |
