Submitted on 2010-09-07On Aug 01, a series of solar events gave rise to a combination of Earth-directed halo CME's. We screen the event based on SDO and STEREO-Ahead movies, and ACE data.
What is peculiar is the fact that the accompagnied flare was only of a moderate class. It was a combination of different events in a fast sequence. In a way of speaking, all the energies involved in each process added to each other and resulted in a final energetic impact on Earth.
Submitted on 2010-05-04The ESA micro-satellite PROBA2 was launched last November with two solar instruments onboard: SWAP, an EUV imager, and LYRA, a UV radiometer. SWAP and LYRA have an open data policy. We are happy to announce the beta data release of the science data products.
We also announce the open call for the PROBA2 Guest Investigator Program to promote & fund SWAP and LYRA data analysis by external scientists (submission deadline June 10!).
For the time being, we have online the following FITS files in YYYY/MM/DD directories:

We have the honor to welcome E. Parker in June 2009 at the Solar-Terrestrial Center of Excellence. This will be an occasion to speak to the world's top expert on the solar wind. It was in the 1950s that Parker developed his theory about the solar wind. In the perception of many, his name is a synonym for solar wind. Parker suggested that the corona, the exterior part of the solar atmosphere is continuously expanding. This spherically symmetric expansion is called the solar wind.
