Scientific Programme

  • Fast Release Mechanisms

    SQ1

    This group will focus on what mechanisms facilitate the fast release of magnetic energy that takes place in impulsive flares?

  • Onset of flare energy release

    SQ2

    This group will focus on the main science question of what controls the onset of flare energy release?

  • Electron Energization

    SQ3

    This group will focus on the question of why and how do flares transfer a large fraction of released magnetic energy into energetic electrons?

  • Ion acceleration during impulsive flares

    SQ4

    This group will focus on the science question: what mechanism drives energization of ions and the measured abundance enhancements of some species during impulsive flares?

  • Particle Transport

    SQ5

    This group will focus on addressing what mechanisms control the energetic particle transport in flares?

  • Flare and Nanoflare heating

    SQ6

    This group will focus on addressing the role of small-scale reconnection events (nanoflares) in coronal heating.
