Dove e quando

The 2nd Metis Science Meeting is a workshop devoted to promote the scientific collaboration within the Metis mission and with other missions within Solar Orbiter. The aim is to foster informal discussions about potential collaborative efforts among these projects. Participants are invited to present scientific case studies that could gain from coordinated observations, particularly those leveraging advanced models, machine learning/AI approaches, and high-performance computing.

The MIDA group will be at this workshop with an invited talk by Michele Piana and a contributed talk by Barbara Palumbo:

• Michele Piana "Machine Learning e Artificial Intelligence applied to Solar and Heliospheric Physics"   
  This talk will illustrate some data- and model-driven computational approaches for data interpretation in heliophysics. Applications will involve flare forecasting using vector magnetograms, space weather prediction using both remote sensing and in-situ data, models for particle acceleration using hard X-ray observations, and desaturation of EUV maps.
• Barbara Palumbo "3-Dimensional reconstruction of the thermal X-ray emission in solar flares"   
  Since October 2022, for the first time, two indirect X-ray imagers, the Spectrometer/Telescope for Imaging X-rays (STIX) on board Solar Orbiter and the Hard X-ray Imager (HXI) on board the Chinese ASO-S mission, are simultaneously observing the Sun in the hard X-ray regime. Given that the two telescopes have different vantage points on the star, it is possible to combine their stereoscopic observations for addressing the 3-dimensional reconstruction of the thermal X-ray emission in solar flares. In this presentation, we describe our 3-dimensional imaging technique based on simultaneous observations of solar flares provided by STIX and HXI. We show preliminary results in the case of a flaring event that occurred on 2024 October 1, and we demonstrate the potential of this methodology for studying the thermodynamic properties of the flaring thermal emission.
