Radial Evolution of the Solar Wind Flow with Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter Abstract: Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter are providing unprecedented joint measurements of the radial evolution of the solar wind from below the Alfven… Read More

The STIX imaging concept Abstract:  The Spectrometer/Telescope for Imaging X-rays (STIX) is the instrument on board the ESA Solar Orbiter mission dedicated to the observation of solar flares. The telescope provides key diagnostics on the temperature of the heated plasma… Read More

A sneak peek into the wonderful world of Langmuir waves Abstract: Langmuir waves are oscillations in the electron density of a plasma. They can interact resonantly with energetic particles such as solar energetic electrons and produce emission in… Read More

The Planets of Dawn Abstract: Planetary systems are assembled around young stars within the so-called “protoplanetary” disks, which are the byproduct of the formation of the star itself. Over the last decade, observations of protoplanetary disks in nearby… Read More

Understanding the Hot Solar Corona via X-ray Observations with NuSTAR Abstract: NuSTAR is a highly sensitive direct-focusing hard x-ray (HXR) observatory optimized to observe astrophysical sources. In certain conditions, NuSTAR can also observe the Sun – and characterize faint x-ray emission from sources… Read More

Estimating the Impact of the Magnetometer Network on the SWPC Geoelectric Field Model We performed a leave-one-out analysis in order to study the impact of the operational network of magnetometers on the SWPC Geoelectric field model. The Geoelectric… Read More
