Citizen CATE 2024: Extending Totality During the 8 April 2024 Total Solar Eclipse with a Distributed Network of Community Participants

Sarah A. Kovac, Amir Caspi, Daniel B. Seaton +240

The Citizen CATE 2024 next-generation experiment placed 43 identical telescope and camera setups along the path of totality during the total solar eclipse (TSE) on 8 April 2024 to…

Polarization Diagnostics Applied to Coronal Mass Ejections and the Background Solar Wind

Sarah E Gibson, Craig E. DeForest, Curt A. de Koning +6

The ratio of radially to tangentially polarized Thomson-scattered white light provides a powerful tool for locating the 3D position of compact structures in the solar corona and in…

A Simplified Theory of External Occulters for Solar Coronagraphs

Craig E. DeForest, Nicholas F. Erickson, Matthew N. Beasley +3

We present a first-principles analytic treatment of modern multi-vane occulters in circular (coronagraph) and linear (heliospheric imager) geometry, develop a simplified theory tha…

Forecasting Shock-associated Energetic Particle Intensities in the Inner Heliosphere: A Proof-of-Concept Capability for the PUNCH Mission

Maher A. Dayeh, Michael J. Starkey, Heather A. Elliott +4

Solar energetic particles (SEPs) associated with shocks driven by fast coronal mass ejections (CMEs) or shocks developed by corotating interaction regions (CIRs) often extend to hi…

CATEcor: an Open Science, Shaded-Truss, Externally-Occulted Coronagraph

Craig E. DeForest, Daniel B. Seaton, Amir Caspi +7

We present the design of a portable coronagraph, CATEcor, that incorporates a novel "shaded truss" style of external occultation and serves as a proof-of-concept for that family of…

Field Line Universal relaXer (FLUX): A Fluxon Approach to Coronal Magnetic Field Modeling

Chris Lowder, Chris Gilly, Craig DeForest

We describe a novel method for modeling the global, steady solar wind using photospheric magnetic fields as a driving boundary condition. Prior wind models in this class include bo…
