ASTR 5835, Seminar in Planetary Science: Recent Advances in Solar and Stellar Wind Physics(Seminar)
Instructor: Malaspina
Room: E126
4:00p-4:40p (T)

Description:In the last year, Parker Solar Probe has achieved its closest approach to the Sun, Solar Orbiter has moved to a higher inclination orbit, and the DKIST solar telescope is operational.  These observatories have generated a wealth of new data on the physical processes that generate and evolve the solar wind. These data have answered long-standing questions and generated new avenues of research.  Advances in understanding the solar wind have also impacted how we understand stellar winds more generally. In this course, we will read and discuss a selection of papers describing key results from Parker Solar Probe, Solar Orbiter, and DKIST, as well as papers that place these results into the broader context of stellar winds.
