SHINE: The Anatomy of Coronal Mass Ejections

这个为期三年的SHINE项目旨在通过确定在现场观测到的瞬态结构与在日冕中产生cme的源结构之间的基本解剖对应关系，探索日冕物质抛射（cme）的起源和演化。在数据分析之后，项目团队将研究日冕物质抛射的开始和它们在日球层的演变，直到1个天文单位甚至更远，在那里，团队将使用原位航天器详细分析日冕物质抛射的组成。PI和Co-I将使用两种模型来重建CME：简单（TH）和复杂（ENLIL）。该项目还将涉及处理和分析来自STEREO、SDO、SOHO、ACE和Wind任务的数据。项目组在STEREO数据处理方面取得的最新突破，使得对太阳风瞬态结构（如cme）的测量达到了前所未有的详细程度。在这个项目中，该团队将使用最新的数据集对CME事件进行案例研究，并对旧数据集进行统计分析。这项工作的广泛影响是双重的：(1)通过国际合作和现有的REU计划对学生进行教育和培训；(2)在网络数据库上发布数据产品，在科技期刊上发表项目成果，在会议和研讨会上发表科学报告。该项目的研究议程支持AGS部门在发现、学习、多样性和跨学科研究方面的战略目标。

This three-year SHINE project aims to explore the origin and evolution of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) by determining the basic anatomical correspondence between transient structure observed in-situ and the source structures that give rise to CMEs in the solar corona. Following data analysis, the project team will study the onset of CMEs and their evolution through the heliosphere out to 1 AU and beyond, where the team will analyze the CME components in detail with in-situ spacecraft. The PI and Co-I will use two models to reconstruct the CME: simple (TH) and sophisticated (ENLIL). The project will also involve processing and analyzing data from the STEREO, SDO, SOHO, ACE, and Wind missions. Recent breakthroughs in STEREO data processing by the project team have enabled the measurement of solar wind transient structures (e.g., CMEs) in unprecedented detail. During this project, the team will perform case studies of CME events using the latest datasets, and a statistical analysis of older datasets. The broader impacts of the work are twofold: (1) education and training of students via international collaborations and an existing REU program; and (2) publication of data products on online databases, publication of project results in scientific and technical journals, and scientific presentations at conferences and workshops. The research agenda of this project supports the Strategic Goals of the AGS Division in discovery, learning, diversity, and interdisciplinary research.
