Congratulations Dr Andy Smith! Recognised by the Royal Astronomical Society for his use of data analysis, algorithm development, computer simulation, and machine learning in developing new methods for monitoring activity from the Sun, and its impact on Earth. 📰northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/news-…
Led by Ivan Milic, our first paper to address the “open flux problem” is now out on arXiv (arxiv.org/abs/2402.02486)! We looked carefully at the effect of telescope resolution on the magnetic flux estimate from the Sun. The result is somewhat surprising. A 🧵 (1/6)
The Solar wind is highly structured yet variable. Close-up observations of the solar atmosphere reveal that the changing connectivity of multiple sources in the solar corona drives complexity and variability in the inner heliosphere.

🚨BREAKTHROUGH! The U.S. National Science Foundation Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope produced its first magnetic field maps of the solar corona using the Zeeman Effect. This milestone, led by Dr. Tom Schad, will deepen our understanding of the Sun and its impact on Earth. Story: nso.edu/press-release/…
Northumbria’s Richard Morton is part of a team who have successfully carried out regular measurements of the solar corona's magnetic field for the first time. Their findings have been published in Science Magazine #SpaceNU #WorldSpaceWeek #SpaceWeather orlo.uk/YrOsK
The EST Foundation and IAC Astrofísica signed today a framework agreement to cooperate on the construction of the European Solar Telescope. This will facilitate the collaboration between our institutions towards the common goal of building the EST! 😃👏👏 urlc.net/NW62
A group of NSO scientists, led by Dr. Tetsu Anan using data from the U.S. National Science Foundation Inouye Solar Telescope, has unveiled the staggering scale of electric fields driving explosive phenomena in the solar atmosphere. #NSFfunded #InouyeSolarTelescope nso.edu/blog/new-resea…
As sunlight enters the Coudé Lab, the heart of U.S. National Science Foundation Daniel K. #InouyeSolarTelescope comes to life ☀️ This 150-ton rotating physics lab uses mirrors, beam-splitters, and filters to send dedicated beams to each scientific instrument, allowing for groundbreaking science to happen!
