Physics Colloquium: The NASA Parker Solar Probe mission at the edge of the solar streamer beltMS TeamsStuart D. Bale (University of California, Berkeley, USA) The physics of solar coronal heating and the origin of the slow solar wind remain compelling problems in heliospheric physics, and plasma astrophysics more generally. The NASA Parker Solar Probe mission was launched in late 2018 and has, to date, made six perihelion passes with the latest at 20.4 solar radii. The PSP instruments have measured a rich variety of plasma physics phenomena, including Alfvenic fluctuations and turbulence, interplanetary dust, ion- and electron-scale plasma instabilities and solar radio emissions. I will review some of the key initial results, including the phenomena of Alfvenic 'switchbacks' or jets, and describe more recent measurements as PSP encounters the dense structures associated with the streamer belt. |

UKRI Deadlines
Due to the implementation of a new UKRI funding system (TFS) there will be a fixed quarterly deadlines for some grants which would previously have been on open calls, this is to allow necessary system amendments and updates.
The first deadline after implementation will be 28th September 2023 and applies to those calls listed below:
EPSRC Post Doctoral Fellowship
