Next-Generation Solar Physics Missions III


Session ID#: 43063

Session Description:
In June 2016, a Next Generation Solar Physics Mission (NGSPM) study was chartered by NASA, JAXA, and ESA for a multilateral solar physics mission concept to bring closure to science objectives by exploring and exploiting new windows on, e.g., wavelength, continuity, spatial and temporal resolution, spectroscopy and polarimetry, vantage point and orbit, with due consideration given to readiness of technology and analysis methods. The resulting report (http://hinode.nao.ac.jp/SOLAR-C/SOLAR-C/Documents/NGSPM_report_170731.pdf ) presents recommendations for a future mission or missions that focus on the study of fundamental physical processes at high spatial and temporal resolution through all temperature regimes of the solar atmosphere. This special session will comprise invited talks that will overview the recommendations from the report, science enabled by the instruments recommended, and synergies between NGSPM recommendations and existing and planned observatories. Interested authors are also encouraged to submit abstracts on these and other topics encompassed in the report, including consideration of science enabled by multivantage observations.
