NASA – Living with a Star: Strategic Science Areas

From: Mark Linton (mark.linton at nrl.navy.mil)

Dear Heliophysics Community,

The NASA Living with a Star Program Analysis Group (LPAG) serves as a community-based interdisciplinary forum for soliciting and coordinating community analysis and input for Living with a Star objectives and of their implications for architecture planning and activity prioritization and for future exploration. This year, the LPAG Executive Committee is focusing on a re-examination of the Strategic Science Areas (SSAs), developed in 2014 as long-term targeted areas of system science to guide LWS activities (see https://lwstrt.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/pdf/LWS_10YrVision_Oct2015_Final.pdf). The Executive Committee met in April to reexamine these SSAs, keeping in mind the overall Living with a Star goals, the ways in which these SSAs are now used by the community to develop new Focused Science Topics, and the ways in which the LWS program can complement the Space Weather Action Plan and NASA's new Space Weather Science and Applications (SWxSA) program.

Based on these discussions, the LPAG Executive Committee has expanded, refocused, and reordered the SSAs into nine draft SSAs: SSAs I-IX. We are now soliciting community feedback on these draft SSAs. All of these draft SSAs are now posted on our website at lwstrt.gsfc.nasa.gov/lpag, with input boxes for comments and feedback on each individual SSA, as well as on the overall collection of draft SSAs. The feedback site will be open for comments for six weeks, until July 14, 2019. During this time, LPAG Executive Committee members will be holding a series of town halls on these draft SSAs at the AAS/SPD, GEM, and CEDAR meetings (note, an LPAG town hall will also be held at the SHINE meeting in August).

After this comment period closes, the committee will meet again to review the community feedback on the SSAs and, based on this feedback, will finalize the SSAs for our annual report to NASA Headquarters.

We look forward to your feedback on these draft SSAs.

Sincerely, 
Mark Linton & Anthea Coster (co-chairs) 
On behalf of the Living with a Star Program Analysis Group Executive Committee

SESSION: SHINE 2019 Session "Long-Term Solar/Stellar Variability: Closing the Rift Between Models and Observations"

From: Irina Kitiashvili (Irina.N.Kitiashvili at nasa.gov)

Understanding the dynamics of solar and stellar interiors and how they produce long-term cyclic behavior continues to challenge both the astronomy and solar communities. We invite members across both communities to come together for our session at this year’s SHINE meeting (August 5 – 9) in Boulder, CO, to discuss how to address this and other common challenges we face.

Key questions we aim to address are:
* What can the variety in solar/stellar variability tell us about the physics of stellar interiors and the dynamo?
* Are cycle to cycle fluctuations in variability, including distinct phases such as the Maunder Minimum, generated by fundamental changes in the dynamo or naturally by random processes?
* What observational data is needed from future missions to provide the most significant advances in the study of long-term solar variability?
* What are the challenges to creating physics-based models, which are consistent with observations, to better understand and forecast solar activity? 

Please see our full session description here: https://shinecon.org/shine2019/session2019.php#session11

We welcome observers, theorists, experimentalists, and modelers to come together for a lively discussion on how we can close the rift between current models and observations.

Invited Scene-Setting Speakers:  Axel Brandenburg and Ricky Egeland

Organizers:  Lisa Upton, Andres Munjoz-Jaramillo, Irina Kitiashvilli, Travis Metcalfe

SESSION: SHINE 2019 Session "Exploring the Middle Corona"

From: Matthew J West, Daniel B Seaton (matthew.west at observatoire.be)

Dear All,

We're pleased to invite you to Session 1 at this year’s SHINE meeting (August 5 – 9) in Boulder, CO, on Exploring the Middle Corona.

In recent years there has been a push to explore this region through large field-of-view imagers combined with radio observations and models. However, we're still waiting for the next generation of imagers to fully explore the energetics and dynamics of this region.

In this session we want to explore the region with available instruments, combining data-sets, e.g. large field-of-view EUV images, radio observations, coronagraphs etc. with models, to help characterize how structures change throughout the region.

We have identified a couple of tentative events to use as case studies (2017-Apr-1 and 2017-Apr-18), but any input observations from the region are welcome. We encourage contributions that model the eruptions and observations that will help characterize the events and provide constraints to the models. In particular exploring the energetics in the wake of the CME and how they evolve across the magnetic/thermal regime change.

Some key questions we aim to address are:

1) How do eruptions evolve through the region?
2) What are the changing 'energetics' observed in the region throughout and following the eruption?
3) What can be learned about the ‘background’ middle corona?

SESSION: SHINE 2019 Session “Tackling Outstanding Problems in Solar Wind Formation and Acceleration With Elemental Fractionation”

From: Yuan-Kuen Ko, Micah Weberg (micah.weberg.ctr at nrl.navy.mil)

We encourage researchers to attend and participate a half-day session titled “Tackling Outstanding Problems in Solar Wind Formation and Acceleration with Elemental Fractionation” which will be held in the afternoon on Tuesday, August 6th at the 2019 SHINE conference in Boulder, CO.

This session aims to share ideas concerning how outstanding problems in solar wind formation and acceleration may be addressed by investigations of the physical processes that drive elemental fractionation in coronal and solar wind plasmas.   
Some key science questions are: 
(1) What physical processes affect the helium abundance in the solar corona and the solar wind? How do these processes relate to solar wind acceleration?
(2) How are the elemental abundance variations in the solar wind related to those in the solar atmosphere? What do their relationships imply on how and where the solar wind is formed?
(3) What do the elemental abundance variations imply about the physical processes and boundary conditions in the solar atmosphere? How are such processes and conditions related to those that govern solar wind acceleration?
(4) What causes the anomalously low elemental abundance of helium and heavy ions in the solar wind? Are they of solar origin or due to interplanetary processes?
(5) What are the key theories, models, and observation needed in order to tackle these science questions? 

Dr. Steven Cranmer (CU-Boulder) and Dr. Martin Laming (NRL) will give scene-setting talks, both of which will be followed by a period of open discussion. Attendees are encouraged to contribute 1 – 2 slides relevant to the topics above to present and discuss during the session. Please send the slides, preferably ahead of the session, to the organizers below:
Yuan-Kuen Ko, yuan-kuen.ko at nrl.navy.mil
