Introducing UKSP Nuggets, short articles highlighting solar physics research in the UK. This is modelled after Hugh Hudson’s Yohkoh Science Nuggets, which ran from 1997 to 2002, and the subsequent RHESSI Nuggets, which started in 2005. As Hugh puts it

a nugget is a lump, especially of native gold or other precious metal. We hope our science nuggets contain some precious substance but since they are written by working scientists, there may be rough spots.

If you would you like to author a nugget please contact us via the form below and you will be contacted by our Nugget editors (Valery Nakariakov and Kimberley Steed). Remember the nugget needs to be short and succinct, we want a nugget not a mine.

If accepted we will give you a contributor login to the UKSP site so that you can create/edit the nugget themselves via the online interface. If you have not used Wordpress’ interface before we can provide help. The author is able to preview the nugget but will not be published online until it is approved by the adminstrators. We particularly welcome movies and animations to help highlight the science in the nugget. We will upload this to our youtube channel and link them into the post for you.
