The origin of the activity in the solar corona is a long-standing problem in solar physics. Recent satellite observations, such as Hinode, Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS), show the detail characteristics of the solar atmosphere and try to reveal the energy transfer from the photosphere to the corona through the magnetic fields and its energy conversion by various processes. However, quantitative estimation of energy transfer along the magnetic field is not enough. There are mainly two reason why it is difficult to observe the energy transfer from photosphere to corona; 1) spatial resolution gap between photosphere (a few 0.1 arcsec) and corona (a few arcsec), 2) lack in temperature coverage. Furthermore, there is not enough observational knowledge of the physical parameters in the energy dissipation region. There are mainly three reason why it is difficult to observe in the vicinity of the energy dissipation region; 1) small spatial scale, 2) short time scale, 3) low emission. It is generally believed that the energy dissipation occurs in the very small scale and its duration is very short (10 second). Further, the density in the dissipation region might be very low. Therefore, the high spatial and temporal resolution UV/EUV spectroscopic observation with wide temperature coverage is crucial to estimate the energy transport from photosphere to corona quantitatively and diagnose the plasma dynamics in the vicinity of the energy dissipation region. Main Science Target for the telescope is quantitative estimation for the energy transfer from the photosphere to the corona, and clarification of the plasma dynamics in the vicinity of the energy dissipation region, where is the key region for coronal heating, solar wind acceleration, and/or solar flare, by the high spatial and temporal resolution UV/EUV spectroscopy.

We comment on the potential for continuing asteroseismology of solar-type and red-giant stars in a 2-wheel Kepler Mission. Our main conclusion is that by targeting stars in the ecliptic it should be possible to perform high-quality asteroseismology,
as long as favorable scenarios for 2-wheel pointing performance are met. Targeting the ecliptic would potentially facilitate unique science that was not possible in the nominal Mission, notably from the study of clusters that are significantly brighter than those in the Kepler field. Our conclusions are based on predictions of 2-wheel observations made by a space photometry simulator, with information provided by the Kepler Project used as input to describe the degraded pointing scenarios. We find that elevated levels of frequency-dependent noise, consistent with the above scenarios, would have a significant negative impact on our ability to continue asteroseismic studies of solar-like oscillators in the Kepler field. However, the situation may be much more optimistic for observations in the ecliptic, provided that pointing resets of the spacecraft during regular desaturations of the two functioning reaction wheels are accurate at the < 1 arcsec level. This would make it possible to apply a post-hoc analysis that would recover most of the lost photometric precision. Without this post-hoc correction---and the accurate re-pointing it requires---the performance would probably be as poor as in the Kepler-field case. Critical to our conclusions for both fields is the assumed level of pointing noise (in the short-term jitter and the longer-term drift). We suggest that further tests will be needed to clarify our results once more detail and data on the expected pointing performance becomes available, and we offer our assistance in this work.
The proposed ARIANNA-200 neutrino detector, located at sea-level on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica, consists of 200 autonomous and independent detector stations separated by 1 kilometer in a uniform triangular mesh, and serves as a pathfinder mission
for the future IceCube-Gen2 project. The primary science mission of ARIANNA-200 is to search for sources of neutrinos with energies greater than 10^17 eV, complementing the reach of IceCube. An ARIANNA observation of a neutrino source would provide strong insight into the enigmatic sources of cosmic rays. ARIANNA observes the radio emission from high energy neutrino interactions in the Antarctic ice. Among radio based concepts under current investigation, ARIANNA-200 would uniquely survey the vast majority of the southern sky at any instant in time, and an important region of the northern sky, by virtue of its location on the surface of the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica. The broad sky coverage is specific to the Moores Bay site, and makes ARIANNA-200 ideally suited to contribute to the multi-messenger thrust by the US National Science Foundation, Windows on the Universe - Multi-Messenger Astrophysics, providing capabilities to observe explosive sources from unknown directions. The ARIANNA architecture is designed to measure the angular direction to within 3 degrees for every neutrino candidate, which too plays an important role in the pursuit of multi-messenger observations of astrophysical sources.
In this white paper, we recommend the European Space Agency plays a proactive role in developing a global collaborative effort to construct a large high-contrast imaging space telescope, e.g. as currently under study by NASA. Such a mission will be n
eeded to characterize a sizable sample of temperate Earth-like planets in the habitable zones of nearby Sun-like stars and to search for extraterrestrial biological activity. We provide an overview of relevant European expertise, and advocate ESA to start a technology development program towards detecting life outside the Solar system.
We present work in progress concerning spectral synthesis calculations of the solar UV/EUV in spherical symmetry carried out with the Solar Radiation Physical Modeling (SRPM) project. We compare the synthetic irradiance spectrum for the quiet Sun wit
h the recent solar minimum spectrum taken with the EVE rocket instrument. The good agreement of the synthetic spectrum with the observation shows that the employed atmosphere structures are suitable for irradiance calculations.
High resolution spectroscopy of the lowest-mass stars and brown dwarfs reveals their origins, multiplicity, compositions and physical properties, with implications for the star formation and chemical evolution history of the Milky Way. We motivate th
e need for high-resolution, infrared spectroscopic surveys to reach these faint sources.
