-The THEMIS solar telescope ("Télescope Héliographique pour l’Étude du Magnétisme et des Instabilités Solaires") of [[https://www.insu.cnrs.fr/en|CNRS-INSU]] is a 1-meter-class optical solar telescope, primarily dedicated to studying solar magnetism and the dynamical processes within the Sun’s atmosphere (such as sunspots and solar flares). THEMIS can also perform observation of near-Sun objects such as Mercury and comets.

-THEMIS observations of the east sunspot group of the active region NOAA 13981 on February 6th 2025. The left image is a Knox-Thompson reconstructed from red continuum broadband camera. The right panels are intensity maps reconstructed from spectral observations by the MTR2 spectrograph observing the H_\alpha absorption line. Theses maps are reconstructed from a scan by the telescope of the active region. While these intensity images have a lower spatial resolution, they provide a wealth of spectroscopic information. The region was observed during a flare, as can be noted by the typical ribbon-shape emission in the H_\alpha line centre. This emission is absent from the continuum emission, indicating a chromospheric emission phenomena. Meanwhile, the red wing maps (H_\alpha+1Å and H_\alpha+1Å) display dark absorbing material above the location of the flare ribbons, signature of down-flowing dense material, a phenomena nicknamed "coronal rain".

+THEMIS design, laid out in the 1980's, predate the revolution of adaptive optics (AO), and hence didn't foresee its installation. AO has since proved to be an indispensable technology of all modern high-resolution telescope. The core of the THEMIS overhaul that took place in the second half of the 2010's had the installation of a simple AO at the core of its objective.
+The installation of the [[technical:tao|THEMIS AO]] was thus particularly challenging as it required to deal with the limited existing available space. The entry prism is thus located just inside the spectrograph container, close to its roof, in a location that is not easily accessible. In addition, as shown in the diagram of TAO, it imposed to place the wavefront sensor optical bench (as well as the scanning mirror) outside of the THEMIS spectrograph container, in a vertical layout.
