An international team composed of Drs. Sylvain G. Korzennik, from the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian , and Antonio Eff-Darwich Peña, from the University of La Laguna and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, has published a pioneering study aimed at improving our understanding of the Sun’s internal structure. The work, published in The Astrophysical Journal , stands out for its use of exceptionally long helioseismic time series, exceeding twenty-five years of continuous observations, to analyze the deepest layers of the Sun. Helioseismology is the study of patterns of
The European Solar Telescope (EST) project has taken a decisive step towards construction with the establishment of the Board of Governmental Representatives (BGR), marking the first formal commitment at the governmental level to this European flagship in solar research. Until now, EST has been driven by a scientific consortium of universities and research institutions across Europe. The creation of the BGR transforms EST into a collaboration among European nations, whose national governments lend political support to the project and to the creation of a future European Solar Telescope
