Energy
Transformation in solar and stellar flares
An ISSI team - 2014-2016
This international team will take advantage of the new understanding of
solar flares from Hinode and SDO, alongside the statistics and spectral detail
available from XMM-Newton, SWIFT, Kepler and Chandra. The idea for this team
was developed from the ISSI forum on the state of solar activity and the
potential for future development of the subject held in November 2012. The
overarching theme for the team is to understand the chain of energy
transformations from magnetic energy to particle acceleration and kinetic
energy, and finally to heat and radiation in solar and stellar flares.
Scientists covering both solar and stellar flare spectroscopy areas alongside
modelling expertise will be brought together to address the four science goals.
