Probing Strong Gravity by Black Holes Across the Range of Masses (StrongGravity)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

Black holes provide a crucial link between Einstein’s theory of gravity and real cosmic objects which astronomers can observe and study in the Universe. This project is oriented towards legacy of the cornerstone XMM-Newton X-ray satellite mission of European Space Agency (ESA) in synergy with relevant data in other spectral domains that are covered by ground-based infrared and radio interferometri ...

High-Resolution Solar Physics Network (SOLARNET)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

This project aims at integrating the major European infrastructures in the field of high-resolution solar physics. The following actions will be taken: (i) realise Trans-national Access to external European users; (ii) enhance and spread data acquisition and processing expertise to the Europe-wide community; (iii) increase the impact of high-resolution data by offering science-ready data and facil ...

Flare Chromospheres: Observations, Models and Archives (F-CHROMA)

Start date: Sep 24, 2013, End date: Jan 1, 2017,

We propose a focused space-based and ground-based multi-mode, multi-wavelength study of solar flares - the most intense energy release events in the solar system. We will center our attention on the flare chromosphere, from which most of the radiation originates. This work calls on space-based and ground-based observations, plus theoretical and modeling expertise. The project will have two major o ...

Radiophysics of the Sun (RADIOSUN)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2016,

"The aim of this proposal is to establish close research interaction and collaboration between the key EU and non-EU research groups involved in the research of the Sun in the radio band; qualitatively advance our knowledge of the physical processes operating in the solar atmosphere, the basic mechanisms responsible for its evolution and dynamics and its effect on the Earth; provide younger resear ...

Solar and Heliospheric Collisionless Kinetics: Enabling Data Analysis of the Sun to Earth Plasma System with Kinetic Modelling (SHOCK)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

This project brings together leading European groups working in the area of kinetic modelling of space plasma to enhance and accelerate the effective scientific exploitation of existing space plasma data sets and to maximize the scientific return of future space missions, both European and international. The fundamental concept of the project is to take advantage in the European context of the syn ...

Coordinating strategic planning for European Astronomy (ASTRONET)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

"Improved cooperation has brought European astronomy to front player, notably through such organisations as ESO and ESA. To continue to excel in a competitive world, Europe must also coordinate national resources in the long term and across borders between disciplines and nations.Accordingly, the goal of ASTRONET is to establish a strategic planning and coordination mechanism for all of European a ...

Solar Eruptions and Flares: Bridging the scale gap (SEraF)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

As the human civilization relies on more and more advanced - frequently space-based - technologies, various natural factors, which have not been significant in the past, come now into play. The variations of plasma and magnetic field in the surroundings of the Earth - commonly known as the 'space weather' - represents a clear example. Since the main driver of the space weather has to be found in t ...

GLObal Robotic telescopes Intelligent Array for e-Science (GLORIA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

GLORIA is an innovative citizen-science network of robotic telescopes, which will give free access and research to a virtual community via the Internet. The GLORIA partners will offer access to a growing collection of robotic telescopes via a Web 2.0 environment - 17 telescopes on 4 continents by the project's end.\nThe GLORIA partners can do this because most of the telescopes are already robotiz ...

Space Weather Integrated Forecasting Framework (SWIFF)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

"We address two fundamental issues in space weather: 1) development of a integrated framework for the physics modelling of space weather, 2) study of methods and software to address the linkage (coupling) between different physics and processes developing simultaneously or in cascade. We propose a plan that starts from the fundamental physics of the space weather processes and designs, first, math ...
