The aim of the EMISSA project is to use the Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA) for a re-evaluation of the activity of stars by means of a comparative solar-stellar study with the Sun serving as a fundamental reference.
The project aims to understand the origin of the element, fluorine, in our Galaxy and also advance our knowledge on the dust formation in evolved stars.
The science data centre (SDC) archives and disseminates all data from the Japanese solar satellite Hinode and the NASA Small Explorer Satellite Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS).
This project aims to understand the origin and formation of small-scale magnetic reconnection events in the lower solar atmosphere and explore their role in the energy and mass transport from the lower to the upper solar atmosphere.
The project focuses on the oscillations, or waves, in the outermost layer of the solar atmosphere.
More than 600 scientists are actively involved in Solar Physics research in Europe. The project works to integrate the major European infrastructures in the field of high-resolution solar physics.
The instrument "SPectral Imaging of the Coronal Environment" (SPICE) is one of the remote sensing instruments on board the Solar Orbiter satellite launched in February 2020. The Norwegian contribution to the SPICE instrument is the complete data pipeline that converts the telemetry from the satellite to science ready data products.
How does the Sun work? Why does it possess a magnetic cycle, dark spots and a dynamic hot atmosphere? These are questions that remain mostly unanswered. In the "Whole Sun" project, we aim at tackling these key questions as a coherent whole for the first time.
