How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T17661729 — 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: Coronagraphic High Angular Resolution Imaging Spectrograph Context triple: [CHARIS, fullName, Coronagraphic High Angular Resolution Imaging Spectrograph]
-
A.
Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph
The Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO) is a space-based solar coronagraph instrument that images the Sun’s outer atmosphere to study coronal mass ejections and other solar phenomena.
-
B.
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.
-
C.
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.
-
D.
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.
-
E.
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.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
