How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

Tim Duckenfield (Northumbria): Uncovering the Polarisation of Coronal Kink Modes with a Single Instrument
PS1.28
Abstract: Transverse oscillations in coronal loops, interpreted as MHD kink modes, are a key seismological tool for probing the dynamics and energy transport in the solar corona. However, inferring the polarisation of these oscillations—critical for understanding their energy fluxes and heating potential—has traditionally required coordinated observations from multiple instruments. In this talk, I will present a novel approach using only one instrument: The Coronal Multi-channel Polarimeter (CoMP). With CoMP observations we can simultaneously track plane-of-sky motions and Doppler velocities, and construct a phase portrait of the oscillation. By combining these measurements with a Bayesian framework, we can infer the polarisation and constrain the true displacements and velocity amplitudes of the oscillations, providing new insights into their energy transport and deposition. This method not only simplifies the observational requirements but also opens the door to systematic studies of wave polarisation across a wide range of coronal structures. I will discuss the implications of our findings for coronal seismology, and the broader question of how wave energy contributes to coronal heating.
