Joint Astrophysics Colloquia

The European Solar Telescope

Europe's bid for leadership in solar science

This talk will introduce the project of the European Solar

Telescope (EST), considered a key European research

infrastructure, and its role in advancing solar physics. We’ll

discuss the relevant solar phenomena — like magnetic field

interactions and solar eruptions — that create space weather

and solar storms on Earth. Their study requires high- resolution, multi-layer observation. The EST, with its 4.2-

meter Gregorian design and adaptive optics system will

provide unprecedented data in magnetic field measurements

and observations across a broad spectral range. These

capabilities are set to transform our understanding of solar

activity by enabling detailed studies of solar magnetic fields

and plasma dynamics.
