The prospect of combining integral field spectroscopy with the solar gravitational lens (SGL) to spectrally and spatially resolve the surfaces and atmospheres of extrasolar planets is investigated. The properties of hyperbolic orbits visiting the focal region of the SGL are calculated analytically, demonstrating trade-offs between departure velocity and time of arrival, as well as gravity assist maneuvers and heliocentric angular velocity. Numerical integration of the solar barycentric motion…

Gravitational Lens of the Sun: Its Potential for Observations and Communications over Interstellar Distances
The gravitational field of the sun acts as a spherical lens to magnify the intensity of radiation from a distant source along a semi-infinite focal line. A spacecraft anywhere on that line in

Evidence for the predicted dust-free zone near the Sun is revealed and observations of the coronal streamer evolution confirm the large-scale topology of the solar corona, but also reveal that, as recently predicted, streamers are composed of yet smaller substreamers channelling continual density fluctuations at all visible scales.
