Description
The solar magnetism is no more considered as a purely superficial
phenomenon. The SoHO community has shown that the length of the solar
cycle depends on the transition region between radiation and convection.
Nevertheless, the internal solar (stellar) magnetism stays poorly known.
Starting in 2008, the American instrument HMI/SDO and the European
microsatellite PICARD will enrich our view of the Sun-Earth
relationship. Thus obtaining a complete MHD solar picture is a clear
objective for the next decades and it requires complementary
observations of the dynamics of the radiative zone. For that ambitious
goal, space prototypes are being developed to improve gravity mode
detection. The Sun is unique to progress on the topology of deep
internal magnetic fields and to understand the complex mechanisms which
provoke photospheric and coronal magnetic changes and possible longer
cycles important for human life. We propose the following roadmap in
Europe to contribute to this "impressive" revolution in Astronomy and in
our Sun-Earth relationship: SoHO (1995-2007), PICARD (2008-2010),
DynaMICS (2009-2017) in parallel to SDO (2008-2017) then a world-class
mission located at the L1 orbit or above the solar poles.
