abstract = "A new solar flare spectral component has been found with
intensities increasing for larger sub-THz frequencies, spectrally
separated from the well known microwaves component, bringing
challenging constraints for interpretation. Higher THz frequencies
observations are needed to understand the nature of the mechanisms
occurring in flares. A twofrequency THz photometer system was
developed to observe outside the terrestrial atmosphere on
stratospheric balloons or satellites, or at exceptionally
transparent ground stations. 76 mm diameter telescopes were
designed to observe the whole solar disk detecting small relative
changes in input temperature caused by flares at localized
positions at 3 and 7 THz. Golay cell detectors are preceded by
low-pass filters to suppress visible and near IR radiation,
band-pass filters, and choppers. It can detect temperature
variations smaller than 1 K with time resolution of a fraction of
a second, corresponding to small burst intensities. The telescopes
are being assembled in a thermal controlled box to which a data
conditioning and acquisition unit is coupled. While all
observations are stored on board, a telemetry system will forward
solar activity compact data to the ground station. The experiment
is planned to fly on board of long-duration stratospheric balloon
flights some time in 2013-2015. One will be coupled to the GRIPS
gamma-ray experiment in cooperation with University of California,
Berkeley, USA. One engineering flight will be flown in the USA,
and a 2 weeks flight is planned over Antarctica in southern
hemisphere summer. Another long duration stratospheric balloon
flight over Russia (one week) is planned in cooperation with the
Lebedev Physics Institute, Moscow, in northern hemisphere
summer.",
