6. ANNOUNCEMENT: NSF AST Solicitation Deadlines

NSF's Division of Astronomical Sciences is accepting solar physics and observations related proposals to two programs - the Astronomy and Astrophysics Research Grants (AAG) and the Advanced Technologies and Instrumentation (ATI) Programs.

The deadlines are November 16, 2020. For both solicitations, proposals must demonstrate the astronomical context of the work. It is highly recommended that proposers reach out to points of contact with any questions, as proposals that do not adequately demonstrate the astronomical context may be returned without review.

7. ANNOUNCEMENT: Access to Solar Orbiter Low Latency Data

The Solar Orbiter teams are making public the Low Latency data from the four in-situ instruments (EPD, MAG, RPW, SWA), available via the ESA Solar Orbiter Archive.
Low Latency data are a limited subset of each instrument's data, downlinked in full during every communications pass. They are primarily an operational product, designed to provide situational awareness to the Solar Orbiter team, while the spacecraft is far from Earth, and it takes several weeks to months for science data to be returned to Earth. Within the team, low latency data will be used to perform high-level instrument health checks, to help choose the best targets for the high-resolution imagers, and, for some instruments, to help us select the most interesting events to downlink at the best resolution.

These data will be immediately available to the whole community from now on and for the entire duration of the mission. However they should be used with caution: they are not of a sufficient quality to undertake science analysis and results derived from them should not be submitted for publication. Full science-quality level 2 data products will be released later this year.
More details on how to access these data, together with a list of caveats are provided in this link: https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/solar-orbiter/access-to-solar-orbiter-low-latency-data<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cosmos.esa.int%2Fweb%2Fsolar-orbiter%2Faccess-to-solar-orbiter-low-latency-data&data=04%7C01%7Celizabeth.wilber%40unh.edu%7Ca5ecef2b34ad400d45d708d87ba7a0c1%7Cd6241893512d46dc8d2bbe47e25f5666%7C0%7C0%7C637395307193336691%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=vzb2ta4ZdNFXKihJUnRX%2Fb0sNqmuQxuwU9heItz9ZMk%3D&reserved=0>

9. ANNOUNCEMENT: Solar Orbiter First Data Release

On September 30, ESA released the first science data from the Solar Orbiter mission launched on 10 February 2020. This release concerns data from the in-situ payload that entered its science phase on 15 June 2020, when the spacecraft was at its first perihelion at 0.51 astronomical units. Calibrated data from the instruments EPD (Energetic Particle Detector), MAG (Magnetometer) and RPW (Radio and Plasma Waves) are publicly available, while data from the SWA instrument (Solar Wind Analyser) will become public later this year. The remote-sensing payload will start its science phase in November 2021.

All data are available via the ESA Solar Orbiter Archive: http://soar.esac.esa.int/soar/<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoar.esac.esa.int%2Fsoar%2F&data=04%7C01%7Celizabeth.wilber%40unh.edu%7Ca5ecef2b34ad400d45d708d87ba7a0c1%7Cd6241893512d46dc8d2bbe47e25f5666%7C0%7C0%7C637395307193336691%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=YKApLSJ9lfW2YeuxEQoVYBHrDbj0bbU10vlp6hTeI2s%3D&reserved=0>

10. ANNOUNCEMENT: New AGU SPA Student Committee - Join us!

Greetings to all students and early career scientists!
Are you interested in making the upcoming Virtual AGU Fall meeting more accessible and inclusive? Do you have ideas about things that the SPA Section could be doing to serve our community in general? Then come join me in the new AGU SPA student committee!

My name is Gilly, and I am your student representative on the SPA Executive Committee. Last month, the student representatives from all of the AGU sections had a meeting where we talked about what each section was doing to support their communities: https://docs.google.com/document/d/163sbXaCpzzsy67I0X-wVXckjfw1r1a2Tf1eArI_2U5I/edit<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2F163sbXaCpzzsy67I0X-wVXckjfw1r1a2Tf1eArI_2U5I%2Fedit&data=04%7C01%7Celizabeth.wilber%40unh.edu%7Ca5ecef2b34ad400d45d708d87ba7a0c1%7Cd6241893512d46dc8d2bbe47e25f5666%7C0%7C0%7C637395307193346685%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=wRIa4p4E29LeDT%2ByL8RHh96xrX3GDe6DtR%2F0Z2FtAiI%3D&reserved=0>

In response to that meeting, our section has decided to form our own SPA Student Committee. This committee will be responsible for communicating the needs of the students at AGU meetings (and throughout the rest of the year too!) to the executive committee, and will be well positioned to spearhead initiatives that serve our community. And because this is a new committee, there is a lot of room for the role of the committee to evolve to best meet our needs. If you are interested in volunteering, please fill this brief form (full link below). Open to anyone who wants to improve the student experience at AGU, including high schoolers, undergraduates, grad students, postdocs, and EC scientists. Feel free to email me directly at chris.gilly at colorado.edu if you have any comments, questions, or concerns.

I hope to hear from you soon!

11. ANNOUNCEMENT: Upcoming SHIELD Webinar
Fri Nov 20th 1:30 PM EST

Please come listen to these two rock stars talk about their careers and challenges!

Prof. Margaret Galland Kivelson
Margaret Galland Kivelson is a Distinguished Research Professor of Space Physics at UCLA and a Research Professor at the University of Michigan. She received multiple degrees (A.B., M.A., and Ph.D.) from Radcliffe College, Harvard University, where her dissertation in Quantum Electrodynamics was supervised by Julian Schwinger. After a decade as a Consultant to the Rand Corporation in Santa Monica, CA, she redirected her interests to Space Physics, joining an active group at UCLA. She has contributed to the field as a theorist, as the author of a widely used textbook, and as an instrument Principal Investigator, most recently having joined the Europa Clipper mission as Team Leader for the Magnetometer investigation. Her honors include being an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences, an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, a Foreign Member of the Royal Society, recipient of the Alfvén and the Cassini medals of the European Geophysical Union, the Fleming medal of the American Geophysical Union, the Kuiper medal of the American Astronomical Society, and the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Dr. Nicola Fox
Nicola Fox is the Heliophysics Division Director in the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC. Heliophysics is not only vital to understanding Earth's most important and life-sustaining star, but the study of key space phenomena and processes supports situational awareness to better protect astronauts, satellites, and robotic missions exploring the solar system and beyond. Until August 2018, Fox worked at the Applied Physics Lab at the Johns Hopkins University in Laurel, Maryland, where she was the chief scientist for Heliophysics and the project scientist for NASA's Parker Solar Probe - humanity's first mission to a star. Fox is a proven leader with an extensive project, program, and supervisory experience, having served as the deputy project scientist for the Van Allen Probes, and the operations scientist for the International Solar Terrestrial Physics program.
