From amir at boulder.swri.edu Tue Jul 23 12:15:45 2024 From: amir at boulder.swri.edu (Amir Caspi) Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2024 12:15:45 -0600 Subject: 2024 AGU Session on high-energy solar remote-sensing missions/instruments Message-ID: <917A2D91-7E1A-42BA-90A8-7A73782EF3CE@boulder.swri.edu> Dear colleagues, There is just over week left to submit abstracts to this year's AGU Fall Meeting, a hybrid meeting with both in-person and virtual components. We invite you to submit an abstract to the 7th (!) annual installment of our session for next-generation missions, instruments, technology, and science studying high-energy processes on the Sun. This includes theory/modeling to drive new measurements/missions! We welcome a broad range of topics on missions, mission concepts, enabling technology, new measurements/data, driving theories and models ... and especially encourage an eye for medium- and long-term outlook. Deadline to submit is 11:59pm EDT on July 31 (next Wednesday). Session/submission link and description are below, for your reference. We look forward to your exciting submissions! https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prelim.cgi/Session/227061 SH016 - High-Energy Solar Investigations Through Next-Generation Remote Sensing: Spectroscopy, Imaging, and Beyond Energetic processes on the Sun, including particle acceleration and plasma heating during flares and quiescence, emit signatures across the electromagnetic spectrum, from X-rays/gamma-rays, through UV/EUV, to infrared and radio. Recent measurements from numerous solar observatories including RHESSI; SDO; SolO; MinXSS; SphinX; Chandrayaan-2; the FOXSI, MaGIXS, Hi-C, EUNIS, and EVE rockets; the GRIPS balloon; EOVSA; and many others; and from opportunistic observations by non-solar observatories including NuSTAR, Fermi, ALMA, and VLA; have significantly advanced our understanding of these phenomena. They have also highlighted the pressing need for increasingly advanced high-resolution, high-sensitivity measurements across the entire spectrum, including polarimetry and especially imaging spectroscopy, to gain further insight into these high-energy processes. This session invites presentations covering new instrumentation, enabling technology, missions, and concepts for next-generation solar remote sensing -- including spectroscopy, imaging, and beyond -- aimed at studying high-energy (hot/non-thermal) aspects of the Sun, and the science enabled by such new observations. --- Amir Caspi, on behalf of Chris Moore, Julie Vievering, P.S.
