Analyses of both high-resolution and long-term synoptic observations of the polar fields are summarized. A broad observational knowledge and theoretical understanding of the polar fields is therefore an essential step towards a global view of solar and heliospheric magnetic fields. The polar field distribution dominates the global structure of the corona over most of the solar cycle, supplies the bulk of the interplanetary magnetic field via the polar coronal holes, and is believed to provide the seed for the creation of the activity cycle that follows. This review describes observations of the polar magnetic fields, models for the cyclical formation and decay of these fields, and evidence of their great influence in the solar atmosphere. Please find the abstract and further details below. The open-access journal Living Reviews in Solar Physics has published a new article on “Solar Magnetism in the Polar Regions” by Gordon Petrie on November 5, 2015. The data availability with quick look movies can be found at Please send inquiries to much of our existing data are already open to the community. Please see the description of NST and its instrumentation atĪt this time, we are seeking expressions of interest in order to determine the likely level of response. Potential applicants are encouraged to include a BBSO/NJIT scientist as a collaborator in the proposal to facilitate proposal preparation, observations, and data analysis. The telescope allocation committee (TAC) plans to accept outside proposals for session 1 (2016 May 1 – Jun 30), which are due Friday, Mar. The New Jersey Institute of Technology announces the availability of a limited amount of observing time to the solar community for its 1.6-m, off-axis New Solar Telescope (NST) and associated instrumentation. Applicants must hold a PhD in solar physics, plasma physics, applied mathematics or a relevant discipline by the start of the project.įor an informal discussion about the post, please contact Dr James McLaughlin at or Dr Richard Morton at details can be found here: .uk/hrvacs/eae1519ĭeadline = Sunday 29 November 2015 at 12:00 noon (UK time)

Experience in magnetohydrodynamic wave theory or time series analysis would also be beneficial. Further details about the research group can be found here: The ideal candidate will have a good knowledge of solar physics and will have extensive experience in the data analysis of solar observations. You will work primarily with Dr James McLaughlin (PI of grant) and Dr Richard Morton (Co-I of grant) at Northumbria University. This position is funded by a research project grant from the United States Air Force Office of Scientific Research. The successful candidate will conduct research relevant to producing automated direct measurements of the key properties of Alfvénic waves in coronal holes in the solar atmosphere, with a view to providing strict constraints on the role of Alfvénic waves in solar wind acceleration.
