Session Description:
Solar X-rays (~0.01-10 nm, or ~0.1-100 keV) provide critical diagnostics of energetic processes in the solar corona and are significantly geoeffective in Earth's upper atmosphere. X-ray emission is especially sensitive to high plasma temperatures, which is difficult to observe at longer wavelengths, and is a unique probe of accelerated particles. This highly variable emission, changing by orders of magnitude from quiet Sun to intense flares, drives heating and dynamical processes in Earth's ionosphere, thermosphere, and mesosphere that depend critically on the spectral irradiance. Inspired by recent and upcoming missions to measure the critically under-observed ~0.2-5 keV (~0.25-6 nm) spectral range, including the Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) CubeSat, this session invites presentations discussing spectrally-resolved solar X-ray measurements (including spectroscopy and imaging), new techniques, and instrumentation; their implications for studies of plasma heating and particle acceleration in the flaring and quiescent corona; and their influence on Earth's upper atmosphere.
