European solar magnetism network

Objective

Solar magnetism is one of the great challenges of astrophysics. The intricate structure of the solar magnetic field exemplifies cosmic magnetic fields; its dynamical modulation affects the human environment.
The European Solar Magnetism Network exploits advanced European technology
--- five solar telescopes at the Canary Islands and ESA's SOHO mission in space
--- to gain understanding of the roots of solar magnetism.
The Network will study the structure and dynamics of solar surface fields, the topology and evolution of solar active regions, and the electro dynamical coupling between the solar interior, photosphere, and outer atmosphere by perfecting solar magnetometry, organizing joint multi-telescope observing campaigns, and analyzing the results through numerical inversions and simulations.
