  2. Participation In Flight Missions • SOHO (UVCS) • Ulysses • CLUSTER • DOUBLE STAR • Participation In Data Analysis • TRACE • HINODE • (STEREO)

  3. Solar System Exploration: Sun (Heliophysics) • Kickoff 1 June 2007 • Magneto-hydrodynamic modelling • Diagnostic tools aimed to address the solar and heliospheric physics issues: • MHD codes to interpret the coronal and heliospheric plasma processes. • Spectroscopic diagnostic codes for interpreting the UV, EUV ed X emission from optically thin plasmas (non-equilibrium ionization etc.). • Turbulence in the solar wind plasma. • Space Weather • Origin of solar perturbations (space data + radio, visible, cosmic rays, magnetic field) • SEP effects • Magnetospheric network data analysis. • Prototypes development • Multiwavelength coronagraphy for the extended corona (Solar Orbiter) • UV, XUV spectrometry for the inner corona observation (Solar Orbiter) • UV polarimetry for coronal magnetic field observations (SMESE,COMPASS) • Plasma analyzer (Solar Orbiter) • Energetic particle analyzer (Solar Orbiter)

  4. Coronal magnetic field Coronal images give qualitative information about the field topology. Extrapolation Techniques: potential field: extrapolation to the corona of photospheric magnetic field in the hp: no electric currents. force-free field: hp: electric currents can flow only along magnetic field lines so to exert no magnetic force on the coronal plasma. Observational UV spectropolarimetry. Hanle effect: resonance polarization in spectral lines is deeply modified by the presence of a magnetic field (UV Lyman alpha series, OVI 1032, allowed coronal lines which are radiatively excited by the radiation coming from the solar disk) (Cosmic Vision 15-25)

  5. Solar System Exploration: Sun (Heliosphysics) cont • Laboratory developments • Optics for coronal spectro-imaging in the UV/Visibile • Multilayer coating in the EUV • Wide angle coronagraphs formed by nanosatellites • Facility for coronagraphic instrumentation calibration • Upgrade of facility for testing plasma analyzers. • Observations and analysis • Instrumentation operating in space • Future Missions • High energy particles (LISA) • Coronal magnetic field measurements (COMPASS) • Magnetospheric missions

  6. Helium Resonance Scatter in the Corona and Heliosphere Program: SCORE NASA LWS Program • SCORE (Sounding Coronagraphic Experiment) in the frame of the NASA ‘Living with a Star’ program • Launch October 2007 Firsts • Helium measurement in the solar corona • Test of multiwavelength coronagraphy in view of the SolarOrbiter (visible, H, He)

  7. Missione SOLAR ORBITER • Solar Orbiter first circumsolar mission of the ‘International Living with a Star’ program. • Solar Orbiter last mission of the ‘Cosmic Vision’ ESA program.
