Morphology
heliologist = heliology (transparent) = helio + logy + ist
The base word heliology is a transparent 'sun study' formation, and adding -ist regularly makes a person noun.
Etymology
Heliologist comes from Greek Helios, meaning 'sun', and the ending -logist, like in geologist, meaning 'one who studies'. So a heliologist in this sense is a scientist who studies the sun itself—its light, flares, and other activity.
