How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T12271345 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph Context triple: [SOHO, hasInstrument, Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph]
-
A.
Lyot coronagraphs
Lyot coronagraphs are optical devices used in telescopes to block out the bright light of a star so that faint nearby objects, such as exoplanets or circumstellar disks, can be imaged.
-
B.
Metis coronagraph
Metis coronagraph is a specialized telescope instrument designed to block the Sun’s bright disk so it can image and study the faint outer solar corona in visible and ultraviolet light.
-
C.
Coronagraph Instrument
The Coronagraph Instrument is a high-contrast imaging and spectroscopy tool on the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope designed to directly observe and characterize exoplanets and faint circumstellar material near bright stars.
-
D.
JWST coronagraphy with MIRI
JWST coronagraphy with MIRI is an observing mode of the James Webb Space Telescope’s Mid-Infrared Instrument that uses specialized masks and optics to block starlight and enable high-contrast imaging of faint structures such as exoplanets and circumstellar disks in the mid-infrared.
-
E.
Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast Exoplanet REsearch
Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast Exoplanet REsearch (SPHERE) is a high-performance instrument on the Very Large Telescope designed to directly image and characterize exoplanets and circumstellar disks using advanced adaptive optics and polarimetry.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
