First Light! The spectro-polarimeter of the world's largest solar telescope in Hawaii looks at the Sun for the first time. The instrument was developed in Germany.
Dr. Theodosios Chatzistergos receives award by the European Space Weather and Space Climate Association for his research findings on the historical activity of the Sun.
The Zdenĕk Švetska Senior Prize of the Solar Physics Division of the European Physical Society (EPS) recognizes Solanki’s pioneering contributions to solar research.
The magnetic field in the solar atmosphere exceeds the geomagnetic field strength by four orders of magnitude. It greatly influences the processes of energy transport within the solar atmosphere, and dominates the morphology of the solar chromosphere and corona. Kinetic energy from convective motions in the Sun can be efficiently stored in magnetic fields and subsequently released - to heat the solar corona to several million degrees or to blast off coronal mass ejections.
