The objective is to promote the consolidation of the professional careers of national and foreign researchers, so that they can develop their professional careers within SECTI.
Promoting the consolidation of the professional career of research personnel, encouraging the creation of permanent positions in the affiliated institutions and facilitating the start or strengthening of a line of research through the financing of their own R&D+ project. i, as well as the adaptation and renovation of spaces and laboratories and the improvement of the equipment necessary for its execution.
Within the general objective of promoting the consolidation of the professional career of researchers in any thematic area, this call specifically promotes the consolidation of people whose field of research is framed in a strategic theme related to either Artificial Intelligence (AI), or microelectronics and semiconductors (Chips), areas for which an additional budget will be allocated.
The financeable activities included in the actions are:
a) The incentive for the creation of a permanent position in the area of knowledge of the main researcher of the action, if applicable.
b) The execution of one's own R&D&i project led by the main researcher of the action.
c) The adaptation of spaces, renovation of laboratories and improvement of equipment, necessary for the beginning or strengthening of the line of research of the main researcher of the action.
The goal of SOLES is to produce a qualitative leap in our understanding of waves in active regions of the Sun through the exploitation of new methodologies, observational infrastructures and recently confirmed theoretical results. The project addresses two fundamental problems in solar physics: the high temperatures of the chromosphere and the structure of sunspots.
The complete process of sunspot oscillations will be explored, including the wave excitation mechanisms, the identification of the oscillatory modes associated with the observed fluctuations, and the measurement of the energy flow at various heights in the solar atmosphere. The structure of active regions will be inferred by developing a new seismic method to diagnose the chromosphere of sunspots. This method is based on recent results that demonstrate the existence of a resonant cavity in the umbra of spots
solar. High-resolution spectropolarimetric observations will be used to identify and track oscillatory modes present in sunspots and quantify their contribution to chromospheric heating. The interpretation of the results will be supported by novel numerical simulations with various degrees of complexity and the simultaneous analysis of the waves of the solar interior using local helioseismology techniques.
The scientific objectives of SOLES are at the frontier of our current knowledge of the physics of waves on the Sun. The project will exploit the full potential of the solar telescopes of the Canary Islands, including new instrumentation, and state-of-the-art numerical simulations to address ambitious scientific objectives, with implications that extend beyond the duration of the project. "SOLES will generate fundamental results on the physics of plasma, the connectivity between different layers of the magnetized solar atmosphere, and its dynamics, structure and energy balance.
