About this Research Topic:
Observations have revealed that the Sun and the stars possess the common magnetic activity and eruptive phenomena in their atmosphere.
We are excited to present the new “Media of the Month Contest” of the European Solar Physics Division (ESPD), which is starting in February 2020. We encourage the whole community to participate and submit high-quality images, videos, or other media related to solar physics to Wikimedia Commons.… continue to the full article
Dear Colleagues,
The Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate (JSWSC) accepts submissions of
research and review manuscripts for a Topical Issue on “Space climate: The past and
future of solar activity” to appear in 2020. This is an open call for papers discussing any aspect of Space Climate, i.e., the long-term change in the Sun and its effects in the heliosphere and the near-Earth space environment, including solar effects on the atmosphere and climate.… continue to the full article
