High-Energy Solar Investigations Through Next-Generation Remote Sensing: Spectroscopy, Imaging, and Beyond
Session ID#: 159199
Session Description:
Energetic phenomena on the Sun, including impulsively-driven eruptions (flares and coronal mass ejections) and more gradual coronal heating and solar wind outflows, provide crucial insight into unique regimes of plasma physics. Physical processes within these phenomena, including particle acceleration and plasma heating, emit signatures across the electromagnetic spectrum, from X-rays/gamma-rays, through UV/EUV, to infrared and radio.
Recent measurements from numerous solar observatories including RHESSI; SDO; SolO; MinXSS; SphinX; Chandrayaan-2; the FOXSI, MaGIXS, Hi-C, EUNIS, and EVE rockets; the GRIPS balloon; EOVSA; and many others – and from opportunistic observations by non-solar observatories such as NuSTAR, Fermi, ALMA, and VLA – have significantly advanced our understanding of these phenomena and their driving processes. They have also shown the pressing need for increasingly advanced high-resolution, high-sensitivity measurements at all wavelengths, including polarimetry and especially imaging spectroscopy, to gain further insight into these high-energy processes and the magnetic field that powers them.
This session invites presentations covering new instrumentation, enabling technology, missions, and concepts for next-generation solar remote sensing – including spectroscopy, imaging, and beyond – aimed at studying high-energy (hot and non-thermal) aspects of the Sun and its magnetic field. We also invite presentations on enabling modeling and analytical techniques, and the science enabled by these new observations and analyses. Recognizing the 2024-2033 Heliophysics Decadal Survey currently under way and the community-led Heliophysics 2050 vision, we encourage presentations with longer-term future outlooks.
