 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'Hard X-ray observations provide a direct observational link to the acceleration and transport of highly energetic particles in solar flares, a phenomenon that has many significant solar-terrestrial consequences. We propose to mainstream the exploitation of high energy solar physics data in Europe. To achieve this overall objective, we will proceed with three complementary activities: theory, computation, and technology. The theory activity will build the background necessary to generalize the use of these data. The computation activity will focus on mathematical techniques to efficiently extract information out of the data. The technology activity will build up on these two work packages to generate science ready data products. These products will be easy to use by both the broader solar and heliospheric physics community, and the space weather community. More specifically, these communities will be able to use these data to build flare prediction models and to integrate them to test their own data analysis projects. The three activities will pave the way not only for the exploitation of the sheer amount of data already available today, but also for the future high energy solar space missions planned. This way, the project as a whole will guarantee a stable and long term positioning of Europe in the sustainable exploitation of such data products.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

Solar flares are fascinating and important space phenomena that have attracted a great deal of scientific attention. A collaborative European project is working on an innovative computational framework to enable astrophysicists to make the most of this data.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

The radiation produced by solar flares can have significant effects here on Earth, and include causing major disruptions to communication systems. By using hard X-rays, astrophysicists can observe the acceleration and transport of highly energetic particles in solar flares. These observations generate massive amounts of data.

Funded by the Space sub-programme of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), the 'High energy solar physics data in Europe' (HESPE) is seeking to mainstream this information and make it available to researchers across the EU. Project members are developing and implementing state-of-the-art computational methods to enable scientists to analyse data on solar flares, facilitating original and challenging solar, helio and space science.

HESPE's computational corpus contains numerical algorithms for spectral fitting and inversion, image reconstruction, edge detection, image segmentation and more. The system also encompasses optimised data products that are interoperable with standard data analysis software.

As the project nears its completion, partners are focusing their efforts on the synthesis of simulated visibilities recorded by the Spectrometer/Telescope for Imaging X-rays (STIX).

HESPE will provide scientists with a general paradigm for the selection and classification of solar flares, as well as for the creation of realistic computer models and simulations, among other field-related developments.
