Ground Based Solar Physics White Papers for Astro2010
Ground-based solar physics will be included in the 2010 Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey, [http://www.nationalacademies.org/Astro2010 Astro2010].
To assist the committee, the scientific community has been asked to submit [http://www7.nationalacademies.org/bpa/Astro2010_Request_for_Input.html white papers] focusing on how our understanding of the scientific frontiers in astronomy may be advanced. White papers should identify new science opportunities and compelling science themes, place those in the broader scientific context, and describe the key advances in observation, experiment, and theory necessary to realize those scientific opportunities within the decade 2010-2020. See also the [http://www7.nationalacademies.org/bpa/Astro2010_White_Paper_FAQ.html White Paper FAQs].
White papers will be submitted to one or more of the five thematic Science Frontier Panels (SFPs). The most directly relevant to solar physics is Thematic Science Area 2: Stars and Stellar Evolution (SSE).
- This panel will consider science opportunities and themes surrounding stars and stellar evolution, including the Sun as a star, stellar astrophysics, the structure and evolution of single and multiple stars, compact objects, supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, solar neutrinos, and extreme physics on stellar scales.
As a service to help coordinate the solar physics community response, this web page is available to those interested in preparing a white paper to register their intent and share information. Authors must submit their white papers between 9 - 15 February, 2009.
Note that the community is encourage to submit fewer papers with more collaborators rather than more papers with fewer authors. Please contact the listed authors and join them if you believe it is appropriate.
