The central aim of the "Sunrise "project is to understand the
structure and dynamics of the magnetic field in the solar
atmosphere. The magnetic field is the source of solar activity,
controls the space environment of the Earth and causes the
variability of solar irradiance, which may be a significant driver
of long-term changes of the terrestrial climate. Interacting with
the convective plasma flow, the magnetic field in the solar
photosphere develops intense field concentrations on scales below
100 km, which are crucial for the dynamics and energetics of the
whole solar atmosphere. These spatial scales cannot be studied
systematically from the ground because of image distortions due to
atmospheric turbulence. The balloon-borne "Sunrise" telescope has,
for the first time, provided measurements of the magnetic structure
of the solar atmosphere on its intrinsic spatial and temporal
scales. The book gives an overview about the instrumentation and
the successful flight in 2009.
