Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH)
Craig E. DeForest, Sarah E. Gibson, Ronnie Killough +74
The Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission is a NASA Small Explorer to determine the cross-scale processes that unify the solar corona and heliosphere. PUN…
Solar Energetic Particle-Associated Coronal Mass Ejections Observed by the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Mk3 and Mk4 Coronameters
I. G. Richardson, O. C. St Cyr, J. T. Burkepile +2
We report on the first comprehensive study of the coronal mass ejections (CMEs) associated with 25 MeV solar energetic proton (SEP) events in 1980-2013 observed in the low/in…
Helio2024 Science White Paper: ngGONG -- Future Ground-based Facilities for Research in Heliophysics and Space Weather Operational Forecast
Alexei A. Pevtsov, V. Martinez-Pillet, H. Gilbert +12
Long-term synoptic observations of the Sun are critical for advancing our understanding of Sun as an astrophysical object, understanding the solar irradiance and its role in solar-…
Measuring the magnetic origins of solar flares, CMEs and Space Weather
Philip Judge, Matthias Rempel, Rana Ezzeddine +11
We take a broad look at the problem of identifying the magnetic solar causes of space weather. With the lackluster performance of extrapolations based upon magnetic field measureme…
SunCET: A compact EUV instrument to fill a critical observational gap
James Paul Mason, Phillip C. Chamberlin, Daniel Seaton +16
The Sun Coronal Ejection Tracker (SunCET) is an extreme ultraviolet imager and spectrograph instrument concept for tracking coronal mass ejections through the region where they exp…
A new facility for airborne solar astronomy: NASA's WB-57 at the 2017 total solar eclipse
Amir Caspi, Daniel B. Seaton, Constantine C. C. Tsang +28
NASA's WB-57 High Altitude Research Program provides a deployable, mobile, stratospheric platform for scientific research. Airborne platforms are of particular value for making cor…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: Synoptic Studies of the Sun as a Key to Understanding Stellar Astrospheres
Valentin Martinez Pillet, Frank Hill, Heidi Hammel +11
Ground-based solar observations provide key contextual data (i.e., the 'big picture') to produce a complete description of the only astrosphere we can study in situ: our Sun's heli…
Historical astronomical data: urgent need for preservation, digitization enabling scientific exploration
Alexei Pevtsov, Elizabeth Griffin, Jonathan Grindlay +16
Over the past decades and even centuries, the astronomical community has accumulated a signif-icant heritage of recorded observations of a great many astronomical objects. Those re…
Magnetic nulls and super-radial expansion in the solar corona
Sarah E. Gibson, Kevin Dalmasse, Laurel A. Rachmeler +5
Magnetic fields in the sun's outer atmosphere -- the corona -- control both solar-wind acceleration and the dynamics of solar eruptions. We present the first clear observational ev…
Hemispheric Asymmetries of Solar Photospheric Magnetism: Radiative, Particulate, and Heliospheric Impacts
Scott W. McIntosh, Robert J. Leamon, Joseph B. Gurman +7
Among many other measurable quantities the summer of 2009 saw a considerable low in the radiative output of the Sun that was temporally coincident with the largest cosmic ray flux…
Stray light and polarimetry considerations for the COSMO K-Coronagraph
Alfred G. de Wijn, Joan T. Burkepile, Steven Tomczyk +3
The COSMO K-Coronagraph is scheduled to replace the aging Mk4 K-Coronameter at the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in 2013. We present b…
The chromosphere and prominence magnetometer
Alfred G. de Wijn, Christian Bethge, Steven Tomczyk +1
The Chromosphere and Prominence Magnetometer (ChroMag) is conceived with the goal of quantifying the intertwined dynamics and magnetism of the solar chromosphere and in prominences…
More of the Inconvenient Truth About Coronal Dimmings
Scott W. McIntosh, Joan Burkepile, Robert J. Leamon
We continue the investigation of a CME-driven coronal dimming from December 14 2006 using unique high resolution imaging of the chromosphere and corona from the Hinode spacecraft.…
