About this Research Topic
Dedicated to the exploration of recent advancements in polarimetric investigations, this Research Topic focuses on emerging approaches and associated analyses, modeling, and technologies currently in development. This will help bring out new insights of the white-light solar corona and their dynamics in combination with multiwavelength and multivantage point observations. We extend an invitation to researchers to contribute Original Research and Review articles, covering a broad spectrum of key themes.
These themes encompass, but are not confined to:
1. Exploring transients in the solar corona, ranging from smaller to larger scales,
across varying distances from lower altitudes to more distant corona.
2. Polarimetric observational data analysis using existing white-light coronagraphs of LASCO, STEREO, and Solar Orbiter.
3. Advanced concepts and techniques for upcoming polarimeters including PUNCH, PROBA-3, CODEX.
4. Analysis of both historical and forthcoming total solar eclipse observations,
spanning past and future events.
5. Novel theoretical models and methodologies that can contribute to advancing the investigation of the solar corona and neighboring regions through white-light polarimetry.
6. Limitations of the existing techniques, tools and instruments and challenges to be addressed in the future.
Submissions are encouraged to explore one or more of the mentioned topics slated for coverage in this issue, without being restricted solely to those.
Keywords: Solar corona, polarimetry, solar eclipse, coronal mass ejection, instrumentation, image processing, numerical modelling
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
