Solar physics researches: advancement with Hinode and Solar-C（EUVST）

Details of research theme

With observations from new space-borne and ground-based facilities coordinated with Hinode, applicants are expected to advance researches on solar physics and its related field. In addition, applicants are expected to contribute to the Solar-C(EUVST) project toward further advancement.

The research topics can be selected depending on applicants' interests and experience. Applicants are expected to take active roles in coordinating Hinode with new international space-borne and ground-based facilities, such as DKIST, Sunrise-3, and Solar Orbiter. Participating in Hinode's scientific operations helps applicants to understand how to operate satellites and to acquire properties of satellite and mission instruments, leading to the development of young researchers with leadership in Solar-C (EUVST) scientific operations.

 

With participating in the development efforts of mission instrument technology relating to Solar-C(EUVST), applicants will develop skills and experience for hardware development. Applicants are expected to contribute in studies relating to mission performance and evaluations to characterize the hardware performance. Through these studies, applicants will obtain abilities to lead scientific planning that allow applicants to expand his/her researches with Solar-C(EUVST).

 

Applicants will experience almost all the phases of the mission, from the project start and hardware development (Solar-C) to on-orbit operations (Hinode).

 

Required abilities，qualities， and experience

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

Research environment after arriving at one’s post.

The computers at ISAS allow researchers to access all the Hinode data on line. For hardware development, it is possible to use various test facilities in ISAS as well as in NAOJ, a partner for the Solar-C(EUVST) development. Researchers will receive research supports from ISAS solar physics group (Department of Solar System Sciences, SOLAR-B project, Solar-C EUVST team) and NAOJ group.
