A total solar eclipse (TSE) is a rare event where the shadow of the moon blocks out the surface of the Sun on the Earth. This enables scientists to study the very hot, tenuous outer layer of the Sun, known as the corona. This project will enable a postdoctoral research fellow to study TSE observations to understand the solar wind and corona – which is important in predicting space weather effects. The project also supports outreach activities with the local Hawaiian community, through a high school scholars’ program and additional outreach and mentoring activities.The work includes four distinct sub-projects on coronal physics based on existing white-light and narrowband emission line data from TSE observations: (i) An investigation of solar wind source regions in the corona using freeze-in distance and temperature diagnostics; (ii) A Differential Emission Measure (DEM) analysis using multiple Fe lines; (iii) Absolute calibrations of the imaging data to determine the density and structure of both the K corona (electron scattering), F corona (dust scattering) and absolute line emission; and (iv) Compare the TSE results with cutting edge coronal and solar wind models which make explicit predictions that can be tested with TSE observations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

日全食（TSE）是一种罕见的事件，月球的阴影遮挡了地球上的太阳表面，这使得科学家能够研究太阳的非常热、脆弱的外层，即日冕。该项目将使一名博士后研究员能够研究 TSE 观测结果，以了解太阳风和日冕——这对于预测空间天气影响非常重要。该项目还通过高中学者计划和其他外展活动支持夏威夷当地社区的外展活动。和指导活动。工作包括基于来自 TSE 观测的现有白光和窄带发射线数据的日冕物理的四个不同子项目：（i）使用冻结距离和温度诊断来研究日冕中的太阳风源区域；使用多条 Fe 线进行差分发射测量 (DEM) 分析； (iii) 成像数据的绝对校准，以确定 K 电晕（电子散射）、F 电晕（灰尘散射）和绝对线发射的密度和结构； (iv) 将 TSE 结果与尖端的日冕和太阳风模型进行比较，这些模型做出了可以通过 TSE 观测进行测试的明确预测。该奖项是 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查进行评估，被认为值得支持标准。
