2026 AGU Session on high-energy solar remote-sensing missions/instruments
by Amir Caspi 24 Jul '26

24 Jul '26

Dear colleagues, We invite you to submit an abstract to the 9th (!) 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, and first-light results from recent launches! 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. Multi-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary connections are welcome and encouraged! Deadline to submit is 11:59pm EDT on August 5. Session/submission link and description are below, for your reference. We look forward to your exciting submissions! SH024 - High-Energy Solar Investigations Through Next-Generation Remote Sensing: Spectroscopy, Imaging, and Beyond https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu26/prelim.cgi/Session/281623 Session description: Energetic solar phenomena — including flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), coronal heating, and the solar wind — and the underlying processes of particle acceleration and plasma heating shape the heliosphere and radiate diagnostic signatures across the electromagnetic spectrum. Diverse missions, from large (e.g., Explorers, flagships) to small (e.g., sounding rockets, balloons, CubeSats) have advanced our understanding while revealing key gaps that require advanced, next-generation measurements to resolve the many spatial, temporal, and spectral scales relevant to energy release and transport. High-resolution, high-cadence imaging, spectroscopy, polarimetry, and novel remote-sensing techniques — spanning the photosphere, inner/middle/outer corona, and inner heliosphere — are vital for comprehensively and holistically probing these complex high-energy phenomena. This session invites presentations on innovative instruments, enabling technologies, new missions and concepts, first-light results, and remote-sensing observational strategies and modeling — and the science these all enable — to transform our understanding of high-energy solar processes. --- Amir Caspi, on behalf of Chris Moore, Julie Vievering, Lindsay Glesener, P.S.

Solar Physics High Energy Research (SPHERE) Workshop — 11–15 July 2022 — Boulder, CO, USA + Windisch, CH + online
by Amir Caspi 04 Apr '23

04 Apr '23

Dear colleagues, The Solar Physics High Energy Research (SPHERE) Workshop -- formerly known as the RHESSI workshop, and now motivated by SolO/STIX, MinXSS, EOVSA, and many other current and upcoming missions -- will be held 11–15 July 2022. The workshop will be a hybrid format with online access and two in-person locations: Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in Boulder, Colorado, USA and Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz (FHNW) in Windisch, Switzerland. The workshop agenda will include plenary topical sessions, held jointly between all locations, featuring invited talks and facilitated, open discussions on targeted science questions. This interactive format is intended to foster both broader and deeper collaboration and understanding amongst our community, to propel progress and enhance success by breaking down silos both within the high-energy solar physics and among solar and space physics in general. Additional independent morning (EU) and afternoon (US) sessions will feature tutorials, posters, early-career talks, and open collaboration. Registration is required, and U.S. hotel accommodations (for the contract hotel) will be handled through the registration form. Abstracts for posters and early-career presentations, and suggestions for open topical discussions, will be solicited soon. The workshop website at https://sphere.boulder.swri.edu is operational with preliminary information, including travel information, and will be updated soon with registration information and deadlines. We hope to see you soon in Boulder, Windisch, or online! – Amir Caspi & Säm Krucker, on behalf of the organizing committee

TESS session 16: next-gen missions -- call for abstracts
by Amir Caspi 13 Apr '22

13 Apr '22

Hi all, It's a bit last-minute, but I wanted to ensure that everyone knew about our TESS session #16, "High-Energy Solar Investigations Through Next-Generation Remote Sensing: Spectroscopy, Imaging, and Beyond." This is the next installment in our now long-running successful series of AGU sessions for next-gen missions, instruments, technology, and science studying high-energy processes on the Sun. Please consider submitting an abstract to the session! We welcome a broad range of topics, and especially encourage decadal concepts and long-term outlook. Abstracts are due this Friday, April 15. The session description is below, for your reference. Abstracts can be submitted at the following URL: https://submissions.mirasmart.com/TESS2022/Splash.aspx Looking forward to seeing you at TESS, in session 16! =) --- Amir, on behalf of the conveners 16. Title: High-Energy Solar Investigations Through Next-Generation Remote Sensing: Spectroscopy, Imaging, and Beyond Conveners: Amir Caspi (SwRI), Lindsay Glesener (UMN), Tom Woods (CU/LASP) Description: Energetic phenomena on the Sun, including impulsively-driven eruptions (flares and coronal mass ejections) and more gradual coronal heating and solar wind outflows, provide crucial insight into unique regimes of plasma physics and astrophysical processes, and are also the primary drivers of space weather. Physical processes within these phenomena, including particle acceleration and plasma heating, emit signatures across the electromagnetic spectrum, from Xrays/gamma-rays, through UV/EUV, to infrared and radio. Spectral and imaging observations of these emissions provide critical diagnostics into the macro- and microphysics underlying these processes. The X-ray and EUV emissions are also significantly geoeffective, contributing to societally-important dynamical effects in Earth’s upper atmosphere and ionosphere on a variety of timescales. 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 such as NuSTAR, Fermi, ALMA, and VLA – have significantly advanced our understanding of these phenomena and their driving processes. They have also shown 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 and the solar magnetic field that powers them. 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 and non-thermal) aspects of the Sun, as well as the solar magnetic field. Presentations are also invited on the science enabled by such new observations, including space weather-related science and impacts to Earth’s atmosphere and ionosphere. Recognizing the 2023-2032 Heliophysics Decadal Survey currently under way and the community-led Heliophysics 2050 vision, we also encourage presentations that include longer-term future outlooks and both intra- and inter-disciplinary integration of solar and heliospheric physics, space physics, and other relevant fields.
