Modern space observations of the Sun have high spatial, temporal and spectral resolution. This allows us to observe and investigate physical processes at the solar surface, in the high-temperature magnetized plasma of the corona and solar wind. We can investigate in many details the effects caused by energy fluxes from reconnecting current layers. These fluxes are in the form of fast hydrodynamic flows, powerful thermal waves and charged particles accelerated to the extremely high energies. Just these effects create the observed picture of a solar flare, the primary link in the chain of the Sun-Earth connections. Our department performes the following most perspective studies:
The seminar holds regularly on Tuesday at 15:30 in the Conference Hall of P.K. Sternberg Astronomical Institute. Head of the seminar: Prof. B.V. Somov. Secretary: O.V. Dunin-Barkovskaya.
The seminar considers the questions related to generation of magnetic
fields in astrophysical plasmas, effect of the magnetic reconnection and
particle acceleration in strong magnetic fields, the origin and propagation
of cosmic rays, the flares and other non-stationary phenomena in the solar
atmosphere and solar wind, Sun–Earth connections and physical
processes in the heliosphere.
