PROBA2 Guest Investigator 6th Call Results

Thu, 07/30/2015 - 13:20 — Matthew West

We are pleased to announce that the PROBA2 Science Working Team has selected 7 proposals for the 2015 Guest Investigator Program.

The PROBA2 Science Center received 15 proposals in response to the 6th (2015) PROBA2 Guest Investigator Call. The PROBA2-SWT committee welcomes the high level of the submitted proposals. Each proposal was evaluated by at least 5 referees of which at least three were external to the SWAP and LYRA PI teams. The committee observed the wide coherence between the opinions of these referees. On the basis of the received referee reports, a preliminary ranking was set up. During a meeting on 15 July 2014, the PROBA2-SWT committee re-discussed the merits of each proposal. Finally the preliminary pre-ranking was adopted without any changes. This resulted in the acceptance of the following proposals (in alphabetical order with provisional title):

P. Bryans	Studying the Origins of the Fast Solar Wind.
J. Carlyle	Column Density Determination of Erupting Filament Material in Proba-2 Images.
L. Feng & J. Plowman	Morphology and Evolution of Three-dimensional CMEs and Coronal Waves. / Searching for EIT waves in coordinated SWAP and white-light observations
M. Kirk	Mapping Solar Cycles Through Polar Coronal Holes.
J. Mason	Coronal Dimming Diagnostics In EUV Irradiance Measurements.
M. Meftah	Analysis ot the Periodicities Present in the Spectra of PROBA2/LYRA and PICARD/SODISM
S. Savage	Using SWAP Data to Tie Coronal Flows to Flare Arcades Spines.
