Gerneral Remarks

Sunrise-III data is made available to the public free of charge. Data available on this website are reduced to our best knowledge. The instrument teams continue to work on improving the data quality and hence we reserve the right to change the data sets at any time. Data reduction is still ongoing, and as of now only a small fraction of the data has been reduced. We will make the reduced data available as soon as it is released from the instrument teams. If you are interested in a data set that is not yet reduced and released, or if you request a specific data reduction level, please do not hesitate to contact us via email at sunrise_obs@mps.mpg.de. We will then increase the priority of the requested dataset and inform you, once it is available for download. If you encounter issues with the data, please do not hesitate to contact us via email. We ask you to properly acknowledge the data and the mission. Please find the instructions below.

Mandatory citations

If you use Sunrise-III data in a publication, we kindly request you to cite the relevant instrument papers listed below. At a minimum, please cite the following papers: the instrument overview paper (Korpi-Lagg et al. 2025), the flight, data and science overview paper (Solanki et al. 2026) and the paper describing the instrument(s) that gathered the data you use: Katsukawa et al. (2026) for SCIP, del Toro Iniesta et al. (2025) for TuMag and Feller et al. (2025) for SUSI.
