Solar Flares Studies During MAX '91

太阳等离子体能量学是一门应用不 不仅对天文学家，而且对核能的实际应用， 聚变反应堆（托卡马克）和地球的破坏 磁层和无线电通信。 在以前的奖项中， 主要研究者（PI）合并了同时观察结果 从X射线卫星和夏威夷的地面观测站， 以高时间分辨率追踪太阳耀斑的发展。 他的结果首次表明，动量守恒， 耀斑等离子体（气体），一个结论，提出意义 太阳染色体耀斑发展模型的限制- 球体和下部日冕。 新的奖项是基于成就的 根据其团队的长期优秀记录获得更新奖。 新的工作将把他的工作扩展到一些新的领域， 包括携带单独信息的新谱线， 太阳系活跃恒星的观测。 后一组是 旨在确定是否在一定程度上， 负责太阳耀斑产生的过程在发挥作用， 这些恒星，从而推进太阳耀斑物理学的地方， 这一研究领域被称为“太阳-恒星联系”。"

Solar plasma energetics is a subject which has applications not only to astronomers but also to practical applications for nuclear fusion containment (tokamaks) and the disruption of the Earth's magneto-sphere and radio communications. In a previous award the Principal Investigator (PI) has combined simultaneous observations from x-ray satellites and the ground observatory in Hawaii to follow the development of solar flares at high time resolution. His results show for the first time that momentum is conserved in flare plasma (gas), a conclusion which puts significance constraints on models of flare development in the solar chromo- sphere and lower corona. The new award is an Accomplishment Based Renewal Award based on the long-term excellent record of his group. The new work will extend his work to a number of new areas, including new spectral lines carrying separate information and observations of active solar-type stars. The latter group is designed to determine whether the extent to which certain processes responsible for solar flare production are at play in these stars, thus advancing the place of solar flare physics in the research area known as the "solar-stellar connection."
