High-Energy Solar Investigations Through Next-Generation Spectroscopy, from X-rays to Radio and beyond
Session ID#: 80247
Session Description:
Energetic processes on the Sun, including particle acceleration and plasma heating during both flares and quiescence, emit signatures across the electromagnetic spectrum, from X-rays and gamma-rays, through UV/EUV, to infrared and radio. Recent measurements from numerous solar missions including RHESSI; SDO; MinXSS-1; SphinX; the FOXSI, EUNIS, and EVE rockets; the GRIPS balloon; and many others; and from opportunistic observations by non-solar observatories such as NuSTAR and Fermi, have significantly advanced our understanding of these phenomena. They have also shown the pressing need for increasingly advanced spectrally-resolved measurements across the entire spectrum, including polarimetry and especially imaging spectroscopy, to gain further insight into these high-energy processes. Inspired by recent and upcoming missions, this session invites presentations covering new instrumentation, enabling technology, missions, and concepts for next-generation solar spectroscopy aimed at studying high-energy (hot and non-thermal) aspects of the Sun. This includes spatially-resolved measurements and the science enabled by such new observations.
