| * Understand solar heating : THEMIS aims to understand the coupling between different layers of the solar atmosphere and how energy is transported from the interior to the outer solar atmosphere. | * **Understand solar heating** : THEMIS aims to understand the coupling between different layers of the solar atmosphere and how energy is transported from the interior to the outer solar atmosphere. |
| * Study and follow solar activity : THEMIS investigates transient events and dynamic processes in the Sun's atmosphere, such as protuberances, proeminences, jets, flares, solar eruptions. | * **Study and follow solar activity** : THEMIS investigates transient events and dynamic processes in the Sun's atmosphere, such as protuberances, prominences, jets, flares, solar eruptions. |
| * Monitor solar origin of space weather: by improving our understanding of the Sun's magnetic activity and its role in driving solar phenomena, THEMIS contributes valuable data for space weather prediction and understanding the Sun-Earth relationships. | * ** Monitor solar origin of space weather**: by improving our understanding of the Sun's magnetic activity and its role in driving solar phenomena, THEMIS contributes valuable data for space weather prediction and understanding the Sun-Earth relationships. |
| * Study of inner solar system objects: THEMIS offers without equivalent ground-based observational capabilities of near-Sun objects such as Mercury and comets. THEMIS's high spectral resolution can allow detailed observations of the atmospheres of Mercury and measurement of chemical compositions via spectroscopy. | * **Study of inner solar system objects**: THEMIS offers without equivalent ground-based observational capabilities of near-Sun objects such as Mercury and comets.
