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…
Small Platforms, High Return: The Need to Enhance Investment in Small Satellites for Focused Science, Career Development, and Improved Equity
James Paul Mason, Robert G. Begbie, Maitland Bowen +33
In the next decade, there is an opportunity for very high return on investment of relatively small budgets by elevating the priority of smallsat funding in heliophysics. We've lear…
Radio Studies of the Middle Corona: Current State and New Prospects in the Next Decade
Bin Chen, Jason E. Kooi, David B. Wexler +13
The "middle corona," defined by West et al. (2022) as the region between ~1.5-6 solar radii, is a critical transition region that connects the highly structured lower corona to the…
Achievements and Lessons Learned from Successful Small Satellite Missions for Space Weather-Oriented Research
Harlan E. Spence, Amir Caspi, Hasan Bahcivan +14
When the first CubeSats were launched nearly two decades ago, few people believed that the miniature satellites would likely prove to be a useful scientific tool. Skeptics abounded…
Simultaneous High Dynamic Range Algorithm, Testing, and Instrument Simulation
James Paul Mason, Daniel B. Seaton, Andrew R. Jones +4
Within an imaging instrument's field of view, there may be many observational targets of interest. Similarly, within a spectrograph's bandpass, there may be many emission lines of…
The Pandora SmallSat: Multiwavelength Characterization of Exoplanets and their Host Stars
Elisa V. Quintana, Knicole D. Colón, Gregory Mosby +24
Pandora is a SmallSat mission designed to study the atmospheres of exoplanets, and was selected as part of NASA's Astrophysics Pioneers Program. Transmission spectroscopy of transi…
