We are pleased to invite contributions,
oral and poster, to this symposium. 4 sessions are currently planned,
divided as follow:
1- Current missions results and lessons
2- Planned missions (and ground facilities) expected
progresses
3- Theoretical major advances and prospective needs
4- Future missions: rationales, projects, new concepts
and technologies
It will be the occasion, for the participants, to
state on the progresses and advances obtained with current missions (SOHO, TRACE
and RHESSI) but also to present the next-to-come missions (STEREO, SOLAR-B,
CORONAS-PHOTON, SUNRISE, SDO, SST) and the goals they foresee. The theoretical
session will state on our current understanding of physical processes at work
in the structure and dynamics of the solar core, the mechanisms of evolution
and generation of the solar magnetic field and the reconnection processes and
energy release in the solar atmosphere but will, most importantly, try to
identify the required observables to disentangle models and bring answers to
longstanding questions.
Finally, the last session will review projects, new
mission concepts and technologies which could provide the necessary
breakthrough to progress in both helioseismology and magnetic field generation,
evolution and reconnection. Future missions could be several and complementary
and, hopefully, for the sake of our imagination and talents, happen before the
Solar Orbiter which first results
After celebrating the 10 successful years of SOHO operations in May
(SOHO-17), it is appropriate timing to engage a prospective vision for our near
future (and not 2020). It is clear, in that respect, following
the development of several major high resolution projects on ground (NSST,
GREGOR, ATST), that high resolution is the key to understand Solar Physics
processes and that the next step should be in Space: high resolution
chromospheric, transition zone and coronal UV, EUV and X-ray imaging and
spectroscopy together with magnetograms and 3D spectropolarimetry to attack the
problem of magnetic coupling of the photosphere to the chromosphere, transition
zone and heliosphere. An efficient way to address the longstanding issue of
coronal and chromospheric heating.
