title = "The Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) Investigation for the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)",
abstract = "The Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) instrument and investigation as a part of the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is designed to study convection-zone dynamics and the solar dynamo, the origin and evolution of sunspots, active regions, and complexes of activity, the sources and drivers of solar magnetic activity and disturbances, links between the internal processes and dynamics of the corona and heliosphere, and precursors of solar disturbances for space-weather forecasts. A brief overview of the instrument, investigation objectives, and standard data products is presented.",

note = "Funding Information: The HMI program itself does not have sufficient resources to pursue all of the science goals possible with HMI data or even all of the goals identified in this article; neither was it planned to. The expectation is that Co-Investigators as well as many other interested investigators will find support as needed to carry out the studies that will in the end make most use of HMI data to achieve the goals of HMI, SDO, and LWS. To help this process, NASA has selected a consortium led by D. Braun at Colorado Research Associates (a division of Northwest Research Associates) to support development of next-generation helioseismology analysis tools. Tools developed by this supporting project will be available in several years. Most HMI analysis is likely to be carried out with support from NASA LWS and Guest Investigator grant programs in the US and from other national science-support agencies in other countries. Funding Information: Acknowledgements The HMI project is supported by NASA contract NAS5-02139. Efforts to develop science analysis code for the pipeline have been supported by NASA grants NNG05GM85G, NNG06GE40G, NNX07AP61G, NNX09AB10G, NNX09AG81G, and NNX10AC55G. We wish to thank Elizabeth Citrin the NASA SDO Program Manager, Barbara Thompson and Dean Pesnell the SDO project scientists, Madhulika Guhathakurta the NASA LWS program scientist, Arthur Poland, George Withbroe, and Richard Fisher at NASA Headquarters for both formative and continuing support.",
