Spectral diagnostics and None LTE modelling of the Solar Atmosphere
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Glasgow
Department Name: School of Physics and Astronomy
Abstract
This project aims at better understanding the plasma themodynamical parameters and the radiative energy budget in various solar features (eg filaments, Flare chromoshere) the student will work on anaalysis and interpretation of observations using data from satellites such as SOHO STERo Hinode SDO IRUS and from available ground based observatories

| PI Contribution | I am a member of the ISSI team: Solving the Prominence Paradox led by Dr Nicolas Labrosse. The team met for a 4 day meeting last February in Bern, Switzerland and are meeting again this March. In the meeting I presented my research into mm/sub-mm modelling of solar prominences. I also contributed to discussions that took place and planning for future collaborations. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Each member of the ISSI team has presented their personal research and taken part in discussions and future planning for collaboration. |
| Impact | Works are ongoing. |

| PI Contribution | I partook in a long-term attachment to the institute of theoretical astrophysics at the University of Oslo from January to May 2017. Whilst there I worked as part of the SolarALMA group ran by Dr Sven Wedemeyer in investigating ALMA data analysis and reduction as well as 3D modelling of the solar atmosphere in the mm/sub-mm regime. Some of this work has resulted in my writing of a journal article that is currently in submission. |
| Collaborator Contribution | During my stay at the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics in Oslo I was able to work under the supervision of Dr Sven Wedemeyer and other experts in my field of study. This was a very useful process where I was able to learn much, whilst still furthering my research. |
