Abstract

AbstractThe New Vacuum Solar Telescope (NVST) is a new generation ground-based solar facility of China. One of the post-focus instruments is the multi-channel high-resolution imaging system, which is designed to simultaneously observe the dynamic gas motion in the solar photosphere and chromosphere. Since October of 2010 it has been operational in the NVST and some necessary updates were performed in past 2 years. Here we first give a general introduction of this system, and then we exhibit one near-limb observation of solar filaments obtained using this system. By this communication, we would like to show the potential ability to perform the high resolution observation of solar filaments (prominences) using the multi-channel imaging system in the NVST.
