Researches with Current and Future Solar Missions

Responsibilities

With observations from currently operating satellites including Hinode, applicants are expected to perform data analysis for leading researches on solar physics and its related field. Applicants are highly encouraged to participate in Hinode's scientific operations and calibration efforts, international balloon project SUNRISE-3, and/or research developments and scientific studies for future solar missions. The ISAS solar group is now working on SUNRISE-3 and the Solar-C_EUVST mission currently in mission definition phase toward the launch around 2025. The group is also studying/developing X-ray mirrors and focal-plane detectors for photon-counting soft X-ray telescope(s). Applicants can be jointed to these developments as well as scientific studies based on numerical simulation helpful for the future mission observations. The research topics can be selected depending on the applicants' interests and experience.

Required Abilities

Research experiences and good knowledge on solar physics or its relevant research field are required for applicants. Applicants are expected to promote his/her researches based on observations including Hinode. Researches should make contributions to further improvements on our knowledge on the Sun. Research experiences with other spacecraft and ground-based observations are welcome to expand his/her resarches to more widely by newly coordinating with Hinode researches. Moreover, those who have strong will to push next generation space solar physics forward through hardware development are highly welcomed.

Working Environment

ISAS solar physics group (Department of Solar System Sciences, SOLAR-B project) will supervise the research. The computers at ISAS allow researchers to access all the Hinode data on line and it is possible to use various test facilities in ISAS for hardware development. Scientific operations of Hinode, which have been conducted in ISAS with scientists from institutes in Japan, US, UK, can provide research international communications and skills for applicants who will participate in operations.
