Abstract:
The Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) will answer key questions about coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and the solar wind through 3D imaging made possible by properties of polarized light in the solar environment. In this work, we detail the goals of the PUNCH mission and strategy used to create 3D images. We introduce solpolpy, a Python package developed by the PUNCH Science Operations Center (SOC) to carry out this analysis. As a case study, we apply the technique to existing data and confirm the results are plausible. Finally, we outline future plans for this technique and software.
