Creation of a Pilot Video on Solar Prominence Research

9311415马丁这个项目是为了制作一个视频，以满足三个方面的需求：交流、教育和促进对日冕主题的研究。其中心思想是利用视频格式的描述性和图像性优势创建一份独特的研究综述论文。目标受众是天文和空间科学领域的科学家及其研究生或本科生。其中一个目标是将最近关于日冕的研究发现传达给更广泛的受众，而不是通常只在期刊上发表结果的受众。预计更广泛的科学家受众将包括等离子体物理学家、恒星天文学家、星际和太阳调查人员。第二个目标是提供足够的介绍性和背景材料，以吸引这些观众的兴趣。第三个目标是从一个具有挑衅性和质疑的角度来介绍这个主题，这将刺激关于日冕的关键悬而未决的问题的工作。之所以建议制作这段视频作为试点视频，是因为可能希望随后对视频进行修改和放大，以吸引大学或高中科学课程或天文馆更广泛的观众。它也是一种实验，使用图像以一种既浓缩又容易被心理同化的形式审查科学材料。***

9311415 Martin This project is to produce a video that fulfills three needs: communication, education, and the stimulation of research on the subject of solar prominences. The central idea is to create a unique research review paper by utilizing the descriptive and pictorial advantages of video format. The intended audiences are scientists in astronomical and space sciences and their graduate or undergraduate students. One of the goals is to communicate recent research discoveries about solar prominences to a wider audience than is usually reached by publishing results only in journals. The broader anticipated audience of scientists would comprise plasma physicists, stellar astronomers, interplanetary and solar investigators. A second goal is to provide sufficient introductory and background material to capture the interest of these viewers. A third goal is to present the subject from a provocative, questioning perspective which will stimulate work on key unsolved problems about solar prominences. The creation of this video is proposed as a pilot video because of the potential desirability of subsequently modifying and amplifying the video to appeal to a wider audience of viewers at in college or highschool science courses or at planetariums. It is also an experiment in using imagery to review scientific material in a format that is both condensed and easy to mentally assimilate. ***
