The spacecraft Solar Orbiter spotted a ‘tube’ of cooler atmospheric gases snaking its way through the Sun’s magnetic field.

From startup to full speed towards goal. RoCS - Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics is among the best in the world at studying the causes and consequences of the Sun's magnetism.

The ESA-led Solar Orbiter mission has experienced its second close encounter with the Sun. It is delivering more stunning data, and at higher resolution than ever before.

- I would like to tell you about my Ph.D. journey, from its start to its successful end. 

See the new close up photos of the Sun from Solar Orbiter. The images shows the progress of the ESA/NASA spacecraft as it heads inwards on its voyage of discovery. 

On Wednesday September 28th, our dear colleague Rob Rutten passed away at the age of 80. Rob was a well-respected scientist with a long and productive career in high-resolution solar physics.

The photos of the dancing aurora borealis were captured this week at Sognsvann by Aditi Bhatnagar. Aditi is a Doctoral Research Fellow at RoCS - Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics.

Three papers has been accepted for publication from RoCS - Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics this summer. 

Three researchers received the prestigious prize for their breakthrough research in Astrophysics  in Oslo 6^th of September.

A numerical experiment led to solar success for Daniel Nóbrega Siverio and Fernando Moreno Insertis.

A further paper has been accepted for publication from RoCS - Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics. Postdoctoral Fellow Maryam Saberi presents her paper. 

European Solar Physics Division awarded Kohutova "for important contributions to the understanding of thermal instability in the solar atmosphere, combining observations, theory, and modelling.” 

The International Astronomical Union has awarded Souvik Bose the best PhD Prize 2021 within the “Sun and Heliosphere” division. 120 Ph.D. theses were submitted for the award consideration. Bose did his doctoral studies at the Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics, Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, UiO.

Three new papers has been accepted for publication from RoCS - Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics. Postdoctoral Fellow Avijeet Prasad, Postdoctoral Fellow Nancy Narang and guest researcher Jayant Joshi present their latest findings.

The image taken by the spacecraft Solar Orbiter 15th of February is the largest solar prominence eruption ever observed in a single image together with the full solar disc. It extended millions of kilometres into space.   

Three publications have been accepted for publication from RoCS autumn 2021 - early winter 2022 . Doctoral Research Fellow Helle Bakke, masterstudent Bruce Chappell and guest researcher Vasco Manuel de Jorge Henriques present their latest findings.

Finally it's settled! NASA and RoCS - Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics will work on a new solar project to better understand the Earth-Sun environment. 

For the second time in its mission so far, the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter spacecraft has flown through the tail of a comet. A mission that includes RoCS - Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics.

- We have found the largest resonant oscillations detected in an intense sunspot, says Dr. Shahin Jafarzadeh, guest researcher at RoCS and part of the WaLSA international team behind the research. The results were published 25th of January in Nature Communications.
