With reference to Aditya-L1, which of the following instrument-function pairs is correctly matched?

1. VELC — Measures in-situ solar wind particles near L1
2. SUIT — Captures full-disk ultraviolet images of the Sun
3. ASPEX — Studies solar corona in visible wavelengths
4. HEL1OS — Maps photospheric magnetic fields

Correct answer: SUIT — Captures full-disk ultraviolet images of the Sun

Solution

SUIT stands for Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope, which captures full-disk ultraviolet images of the Sun. The other options mismatch the functions of VELC, ASPEX, and HEL1OS. Therefore, SUIT is the correctly matched pair.
