Proposals are hereby invited under the SOLARNET Trans-National Access Programme for observing time at the solar telescopes GREGOR, SST, THEMIS, and VTT. This call also includes observing time in the International Time Program (ITP).

Proposals will be handled by the EAST TAC, a common European time allocation committee installed by the European Association for Solar Telescopes. Typically, successful proposals will be awarded with 10 observing days. SOLARNET campaigns also get travel grants for going to the telescope.  In 2019, the SST will provide some of its time in service mode, thus not requiring visits by the investigators. Certain criteria of eligibility related to the nationalities of the applicants exist. If in doubt, ask. New users of the facilities are encouraged to apply.

Data acquired in the SOLARNET Access Programme will become public one year after being delivered to the PI.

Information on instrumentation and proposal details are available at the telescope web pages:

GREGOR
SST
THEMIS
VTT

Proposals can be made for each individual telescope or for a combination of them. All applications will be assumed to be for both SOLARNET and ITP when possible. All proposals should be sent via email to [log in to unmask] and must be received by January 20, 2019.

Disclaimer: SOLARNET is expected to be funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 824135. The awarding of SOLARNET observing time is contingent on the signing process that is currently underway.

Invitation to join Whole Heliosphere and Planetary Interactions campaigns
from Mario M. Bisi [December 14, 2018]

From Sarah Gibson (HAO/NCAR):

It’s solar minimum. In the tradition of Whole Sun Month (1996) and Whole Heliosphere Interval (2008), it’s time for Whole Heliosphere & Planetary Interactions (2019) – WHPI!

Goal? A coordinated observing and modeling effort to characterize the three-dimensional interconnected solar-heliospheric-planetary system. By focussing on specific solar rotations near solar minimum, structures and activity can be unambiguously traced throughout the heliosphere and into planetary space environments.

When? 3 target intervals:
Jul 2019 – Solar eclipse
Sep 2019 – Parker Solar Probe at perihelion
Dec 2019 – Parker Solar Probe Venus flyby

Who? Everyone is welcome – it’s a grassroots effort. Sign up – we will have telecons and workshops to coordinate analyses.

See https://whpi.hao.ucar.edu/ for further details.

RAS Discussion meeting (G) – 8th March 2019 from 10:30 at the RAS Lecture Theatre, Burlington House, London
from Richard Morton [December 12, 2018]

Transitioning Research and Instrument Expertise in Heliophysics into Space Weather Monitoring Capabilities at L1 and L5

The UK has a world-class heliophysics programme in terms of both research and the underpinning instrumentation; this is illustrated by scientific missions such as SOHO, Cluster, STEREO and Solar Orbiter. Investment in these missions has resulted in major advances in our understanding of the physics of our solar system. This experience is crucial for understanding the “space weather” effects of solar-generated activity on human technology and health. Since the UK Government placed extreme space weather on the Risk Register of Civil Emergencies in 2011, the UK has been at the forefront of endeavours to develop an effective approach to space weather mitigation. This includes: establishment of the Space Environment Impact Expert Group to advise Government; formation of the UK Met Office Space Weather Operations Centre; engagement with ESA’s SSA Space Weather programme. The aim of the latter is to launch an operational space weather monitoring mission to the L5 Lagrange point, in conjunction with a US mission to L1. To this end, Phase A/B1 studies of the L5 spacecraft and payload are underway. Both the remote-sensing and in-situ instrument package studies (and one of the parallel system studies) are being led by the UK. It is, hence, timely to assess how best to coordinate the complementary research and operational aspects of the UK’s heliophysics programme. This discussion meeting is aimed at the transitioning of research and instrumental expertise acquired from our recent and on-going space science missions into operational space weather capabilities.

We invite contributions (both oral and posters) from the community. Please send a title and brief abstract to one of the organisers by February 15th.

Details of the meeting can be found at https://ras.ac.uk/events-and-meetings/ras-meetings/transitioning-research-and-instrument-expertise-heliophysics-space. The meeting starts at 10:30 and finishes at 15:30.

EGU call for abstracts: ST4.5 Prediction of Solar Flares and Eruptions
from robertus erdelyi [December 11, 2018]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention and invite you to consider submitting an abstract to session ST4.5 in the Space Weather and Space Climate programme group to be held at the EGU General Assembly 2019, April 7–12, in Vienna

Abstract submission: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2019/abstractsubmission/31920

The abstract deadline is 10 January 2019, 13:00 CET.

ST4.5 Prediction of Solar Flares and Eruptions: Observations, Theory and Modeling
Session details:
The session is intended as a discussion forum for reviewing and improving our current understanding of solar flare occurrence mechanisms and the prediction of flares and eruptions in both observational and modeling settings. In particular, this session will discuss, first, the apparent paradigm shift from simple flare and eruption prediction methods to interdisciplinary, multi-parameter investigations enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) and, second, the current and future synergies between academic and operational sectors in the framework of research to operations (R2O). Solar eruptions cause space weather phenomena that can affect space environment and sometimes impact our infrastructure, causing disruptions to our societal fabric. Prediction of solar flares and eruptions is essential to increase the lead time and the accuracy of space weather forecasts. Synergies are crucial for establishing operational prediction models and for effectively evaluating and validating these models. Such collaborative approaches are motivated by observational advances enabled by space missions (SDO, STEREO, SOHO, Hinode, RHESSI, GOES, Parker Solar Probe, and Solar Orbiter in the near future, etc.), empirical human forecasting for decades, statistical methods, advances in machine- and deep-learning techniques, big-data handling, as well as realistic, data-driven numerical simulations. We solicit contributions on solar flare and eruption prediction, including operational human forecasting, statistical models, AI investigations and state-of-the-art forecast models enabled by numerical simulations, aiming toward future operations. Abstracts on data and performance verification, validation and benchmarking are also welcome.

We look forward to receiving your contributions and thank you very much for your attention.

Sincerely yours, session conveners,
Mamoru Ishii,
Manolis Georgoulis ,
KD Leka,

AOGS2019 ST20 Solar Flare Forecasting Using Machine Learning
from robertus erdelyi [December 3, 2018]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to Session ST20: Solar Flare Forecasting Using Machine Learning, of the 16th Annual Meeting of the Asia-Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS), 28 Jul – 02 Aug, 2019, Singapore.

Please note that the deadline for Abstract Submission is 12 Feb 2019. Submission can be made at:
http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2019/public.asp?page=abstract.htm

ST20 Session Description:

Solar flares, one of the most powerful and energetic explosions in our Solar System, are often caused by very abrupt and sudden changes of magnetic field configuration in the Sun’s atmosphere. These violent solar activities could be potentially catastrophic to our satellites, ground-based infrastructure, and even threat the health and life of humans. Therefore, solar flare forecasting has drawn considerable attentions from scientists to governments in recent years.

Besides the physical models of solar flare forecasting, there are more and more successful large data-driven models developed on the basis of machine learning methods. Along with the rise of big data, the advantages and potentials of date-driven models became increasingly relevant. This session solicits presentations focusing on a wide variety of solar flare forecasting models, especially those about data-driven models. We particularly encourage submissions on addressing recent results of solar flare forecasting based on machine learning techniques. We would also welcome submissions addressing the design and operation of numerical forecasting of solar flares, delivering a cutting-edge, more reliable, accurate and near-real time automated solar flare forecasting.

Istituto Ricerche Solari Locarno (IRSOL, Locarno Monti, Switzerland) – Postdoctoral Contract: SOLARNET2 Project
from Richard Morton [December 15, 2018]

The Istituto Ricerche Solari Locarno (IRSOL, Locarno Monti, Switzerland) is currently accepting applications for a postdoctoral position within the project “Measurement for absolute high precision polarimetry” financed by the H2020 project SOLARNET-2.

The aim of the project is to develop a technology that allows to improve the measurement accuracy of the absolute value of polarization signals in high-precision solar spectro-polarimetric observations. A prototype instrument has been developed at IRSOL, which combines a low frequency modulation, effected by rotating a retarder located in front of the telescope, and a high frequency modulation carried out by a high-sensitivity polarimeter located after the telescope. This technology will be developed at IRSOL and will subsequently be tested on larger telescopes such as GREGOR.

The possibility of measuring the absolute value of the polarization with a much higher precision than ever before would represent a major breakthrough in the field of solar spectro-polarimetry, especially regarding the measurement of spectral line polarization.

The IRSOL post-doc successful applicant is expected to lead the project according to the goals of SOLARNET-2 in close interaction with IRSOL staff.

The contract is expected to begin in May 2019 (exact date to be negotiated); it is a two year position with the possibility of applying for renewal.

The announcement, with the information on how to apply, can be found at www.irsol.ch/jobs/
