Description

PUNCH Level 3 intermediate polarized science mosaic images in the MZP (Minus, Zero, and Plus for −60°, 0°, and +60°) coordinate framework. The product contains white-light polarized intensity after F-corona subtraction but before starfield removal and polarization resolution into tB and pB.

The PUNCH team continues to generate the PIM product as an intermediate processing product, but PIM is no longer distributed through the Solar Data Analysis Center because of its intermediate nature and large storage requirements. This SPASE record is retained for historical reference.

PTM is the corresponding final polarized trefoil science product after background removal and polarization resolution into tB and pB. PIM and PTM are distinct processing stages; PTM does not directly supersede PIM.

This dataset is a member of the Collection of PUNCH Level-3 Science Image datasets. Per instructions from the PUNCH team, reference to the entire Collection, including the DOI below, should be used when this and other member datasets in the Collection are cited:

Marked the PIM resource as Deprecated. The PUNCH team confirmed that PIM continues to be generated as an intermediate processing product but is no longer distributed through the Solar Data Analysis Center. Changed Availability from Online to Offline, replaced the obsolete PIM AccessURL with the PUNCH Level 3 archive URL, and updated the description. SY
