Detection of Potato Plant Leaf Diseases using Convolutional Neural Networks
Haimanot Bitew Alemayehu, Simachew Melaku Ayalew, Chilotie Desalew Mengesha +3
Potato is an important food-security crop in Ethiopia, but its production is affected by foliar diseases, particularly early blight and late blight. This study develops a lightweig…
Potential Solar Precursors to Magnetic Switchbacks
Durgesh Tripathi, Maria S. Madjarska, Judy Karpen +9
The origin of magnetic switchbacks-large-amplitude, spherically polarized magnetic-field fluctuations with local polarity inversions shown to be nearly ubiquitous in the inner heli…
Automatic detection of Flare Ribbon Fine Structures as Proxies for Plasmoid Dynamics in Flare Reconnection
Georgios Chouliaras, Peter F. Wyper, Joel T. Dahlin +1
Flare ribbons often display fine structures along their fronts that are commonly interpreted as signatures of intermittent reconnection dynamics including plasmoid formation in the…
UK White Paper on Space-based total solar eclipse observations: structure and dynamics of the solar atmosphere
Lucie M. Green, Nicola Baresi, Huw Morgan +19
Our Sun is uniquely placed to enable a detailed study of astrophysical plasmas and how they are governed by the magnetic fields that thread through them. On the one hand, magnetic…
Magnetic switchback formation: a review of proposed mechanisms
Peter F. Wyper, Jonathan Squire, Etienne Pariat +19
Magnetic switchbacks are large amplitude deflections of the magnetic field within the solar wind. They are Alfvénic in character and so are associated with a spike in velocity and…
Understanding Solar Flares and Energetic Events: Open questions, observational requirements, and instrumental needs over the coming decade
Malcolm K. Druett, Graham S. Kerr, Joel C. Allred +15
Solar flares are the largest energy-release events in the Solar System, allowing us to study fundamental physical phenomena under extreme conditions. Those include magnetic reconne…
