High Resolution Observations of Evolution of Magnetic Fields and Flows Associated with Solar Eruptions

这个为期3年的项目旨在研究太阳耀斑相关的磁场演变，这有望揭示太阳爆发的潜在物理机制——太空天气的主要驱动因素。该项目有很强的教育成分：它将主要支持一名女研究生和一名女初级研究员。该项目将产生的数据分析和成像处理工具可用于许多其他科学和工程领域。该项目的研究和EPO议程支持AGS部门在发现、学习、多样性和跨学科研究方面的战略目标。这个为期3年的项目的主要目的是研究与太阳爆发有关的矢量磁场和流动运动的演变。该项目的具体科学目标是：(1)提高对太阳爆发后光球磁场快速变化的物理认识；(2)研究与这些爆发相关的光球流运动，包括水平和垂直两方面。项目组将使用最新的最先进的数据，以及来自SDO和NST的持续的新观测。进行研究所需的大多数数据分析工具都是由项目团队在过去开发和验证的。

This 3-year project is aimed at studying the solar-flare-associated magnetic field evolution, which has the promise to reveal the underlying physical mechanism(s) responsible for solar eruptions --- the main drivers of space weather. The project has a strong education component: it will mainly support a female graduate student as well as a female junior researcher. The data analysis and imaging processing tools that will result from this project can be used in many other areas of science and engineering. The research and EPO agenda of this project supports the Strategic Goals of the AGS Division in discovery, learning, diversity, and interdisciplinary research. The main thrust of this 3-year project is to investigate the evolution of vector magnetic fields and flow motions associated with solar eruptions. The specific science objectives of the project are to (i) gain improved physical understanding of the rapid changes of photospheric magnetic fields following solar eruptions, and (ii) study the photospheric flow motions, both horizontal and vertical, associated with these eruptions. The project team will use recent state-of-the-art data as well as continuing new observations from SDO and NST. Most of the data analysis tools that are needed to conduct the research studies have been developed and validated by the project team in the past.
