GREGOR Observation Campaign: The Incoming or Part 1

Image
The Sun features and still holds so many secrets that we need additional observations and investigations to understand our heavenly body fully. To contribute to this challenging task also our group took up the task to form an international experienced solar physicist team consisting of researchers from all around the world. Thus we have members from Japan, Europe such as from Germany, Slovakia or Austria (e.g. the PI of the Project) reaching as far as Colombia; In total this forms maybe one of the largest solar observation campaigns happening in this year. The campaign will be carried out on El Teide observatory with two of the main solar observatories in the world in the optical regime, namely the 1.5 m GREGOR telescope, the third largest ground-based aperture solar telescope (two slightly larger ones with ~ 1.6 m exist in the US) situated on Tenerife/Spain and the Vacuum Tower Telescope (VTT). This Project is coordinated by the Institute of Physics/IGAM, Karl-Franzens Univers...

European Solar Physics Meeting (ESPM-15)

Image
A few days ago the 15th edition of the European Solar Physics Meeting ( ESPM-15 ) was held in Budapest/Hungary between September 4th - 8th, 2017. This is probably the most important and comprehensive event in Europe for solar physicists. The meeting features the presence of more than two hundred scientists mostly from Europe but also from the rest of the whole world. Thus scientists from Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Oceania were all present in this importnat meeting. The oral and poster contributions cover in principle all topics of interest for solar physcists starting from the interior of the Sun to the impact of solar storms and the solar wind on the planetary bodies of our solar system. Hence topics from simulations, observations, new instruments and telescopes, solar atmosphere, energetic events, and so on were discussed in detail during the five days that the meeting lasted. Three members of our group of High Resolution, Simulations & Observations of the Lower Sola...

Welcome to our new blog about high resolution solar physics in the lower solar atmosphere!

Dear Readers, Dear Friends & Colleagues, it is our pleasure to welcome you on our new blog, which will be dedicated to the physics of the lower solar atmosphere. On the one hand we wish to present our own small group hosted here in Graz at the IGAM of the Karl-Franzens University of Graz. On the other hand we like to report about what is going on in the field in general and in other groups. Stay tuned and hope to report to you soon on behalf of the whole team Dominik
