Ground Based Solar Physics White Papers for Astro2010
Ground-based solar physics will be included in the 2010 Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey, [http://www7.nationalacademies.org/bpa/astro2010.html Astro2010]. To assist the committee, the community has been asked to submit white papers for important science topics [ [http://www7.nationalacademies.org/bpa/Astro2010_Call_for_Science_White_Papers.pdf Astro2010 Call for White Papers] ].
The most directly relevant topic 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. Please contact jthoeksema@spd.aas.org to add to this list. Please contact the author to assist with or comment on a white paper.
