RHESSI-19 Workshop: Preparing for the Next Decade in High-Energy Solar Physics Research

Description

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the RHESSI-19 workshop was converted into a two-day virtual meeting consisting of only invited talks. See left-hand menu for the agenda and talks of this meeting.

Launched in 2002, the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) was a NASA Small Explorer Mission designed to explore the basic physics of particle acceleration and explosive energy release in solar flares by making pioneering imaging spectroscopy observations of the X-ray and gamma-ray emissions of these energetic events. Decommissioned in October 2018, RHESSI covered more than a complete solar cycle in its 16-year lifetime and tremendously advanced the understanding of high energy phenomena at the Sun.

This workshop is the 19th in a series of workshops to explore current topics in high-energy in solar flare physics. It will have a format similar to previous workshops, with a balance of plenary sessions, invited and contributed talks, and working groups focused on specific topics.  The workshop will feature results from ongoing analysis and interpretation of archival RHESSI data, and will also emphasize coordinated observations of high-energy solar eruptive events using instruments/facilities such as EOVSA, NuSTAR, PSP, Fermi, and MinXSS, and will also focus on preparations for future missions such as Solar Orbiter/STIX.
