Next-Generation Comprehensive Data-Driven Models of Solar Eruptive Events
Joel C. Allred, Graham S. Kerr, Meriem Alaoui +11
Solar flares and coronal mass ejections are interrelated phenomena that together are known as solar eruptive events. These are the main drivers of space weather and understanding t…
The Critical Coronal Transition Region: A Physics-framed Strategy to Uncover the Genesis of the Solar Wind and Solar Eruptions
Angelos Vourlidas, Amir Caspi, Yuan-Kuen Ko +10
Our current theoretical and observational understanding suggests that critical properties of the solar wind and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are imparted within 10 Rs, particularl…
The Focusing Optics X-ray Solar Imager (FOXSI)
Steven Christe, Meriem Alaoui, Joel Allred +26
FOXSI is a direct-imaging, hard X-ray (HXR) telescope optimized for solar flare observations. It detects hot plasma and energetic electrons in and near energy release sites in the…
Fundamentals of impulsive energy release in the corona
Albert Y. Shih, Lindsay Glesener, Säm Krucker +30
It is essential that there be coordinated and co-optimized observations in X-rays, gamma-rays, and EUV during the peak of solar cycle 26 (~2036) to significantly advance our unders…
Sustaining high-solar-activity research
Albert Y. Shih, Amir Caspi, Jessie Duncan +3
Research efforts that require observations of high solar activity, such as multiwavelength studies of large solar flares and CMEs, must contend with the 11-year solar cycle to a de…
Infrastructure Strategy to Enable Optical Communications for Next-Generation Heliophysics Missions
Marta Shelton, Hongbo Li, Daniel Motto +9
To expand frontiers and achieve measurable progress, instruments such as hyperspectral imagers are increased in resolution, field of view, and spectral resolution and range, leadin…
Multi-point Assessment of the Kinematics of Shocks (MAKOS): A Heliophysics Mission Concept Study
Katherine A. Goodrich, Lynn B. Wilson, Steven Schwartz +6
Collisionless shocks are fundamental processes that are ubiquitous in space plasma physics throughout the Heliosphere and most astrophysical environments. Earth's bow shock and int…
The Persistent Mystery of Collisionless Shocks
Katherine Goodrich, Steven Schwartz, Lynn Wilson +14
Collisionless shock waves are one of the main forms of energy conversion in space plasmas. They can directly or indirectly drive other universal plasma processes such as magnetic r…
