Solar Physics White Papers for Astro2010

The latest Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey, Astro2010, is underway.

To assist the survey committee, the scientific community was asked to submit white papers focusing on how understanding of the scientific frontiers in astronomy may be advanced. White papers 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. For details see the White Paper FAQs. The AAS has instituted an informational ASTRO2010 resource page as well.

Papers have been 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.

Note that only ground-based solar physics projects will be prioritized by the Program Prioritization Panels according to the Statement of Task to the Survey Committee.

As a service to help coordinate the solar physics community response, this web page was made available to those interested in preparing a white paper to register their intent and share information. By February 15 authors had submitted their white papers to the Astro2010 committee.

The full list of submitted white papers includes more than 320 submissions!

Please contact the listed authors if you have questions.
