High-Energy Solar Investigations Through Next-Generation Spectroscopy: X-rays, Gamma Rays, and EUV Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 52561

Session Description:
X-ray, gamma-ray, and EUV emissions are signatures of multiple related energetic processes on the Sun, including particle acceleration and plasma heating, both during flares and quiescence. Recent measurements from numerous solar missions including RHESSI; SDO; MinXSS-1; SphinX; the FOXSI, EUNIS, and EVE rockets; the GRIPS balloon; and a number of others; and from opportunistic observations by non-solar observatories such as NuSTAR and Fermi, have significantly advanced our undertanding of these phenomena. They have also shown the pressing need for increasingly advanced spectrally-resolved measurements across the entire high-energy (X-ray, gamma-ray, EUV) spectrum, including polarimetry and especially imaging spectroscopy, to gain further insight into these processes. Inspired by recent and upcoming missions in this field, this session invites presentations covering new instrumentation, enabling technology, missions, and mission concepts for next-generation X-ray, gamma-ray, and EUV solar spectroscopy, including spatially-resolved measurements, and the science that would be enabled by such new observations.
