Solar Physics – Topical Collection on "Irradiance Variations of the Sun
and Sun-like Stars”

We solicit articles for a Topical Collection of the journal Solar
Physics entitled "Irradiance Variations of the Sun and Sun-like Stars”
aimed at observing and modelling irradiance variations of the Sun and
Sun-like stars and, in particular, at understanding the links between
magnetic fields and the resulting solar and stellar variability. We
especially welcome articles based on synergies between solar and stellar
research.

The Topical Collection is an outgrowth of the meetings:

     2018 Sun-Climate Symposium
(lasp.colorado.edu/home/sorce/news-events/meetings/2018-scs/);
     Cool Stars 20 Splinter "Stellar Brightness Variations: building on
the solar knowledge” (solve.mps.mpg.de/organize_cool_stars.shtml);
     IAU XXXth Focus Meeting FM9: "Solar Irradiance: Physics-Based
Advances)” (solve.mps.mpg.de/organize_IAU.shtml).

This Topical Collection is not a conference proceedings, and it is not
limited to contributions presented at the meetings. All submissions must
be completed original articles that meet the regular quality of the
journal. The Topical Collection will start off with three invited review
articles summarizing the recent progress in i) solar irradiance
measurements; ii) physics-based modelling of solar and stellar
irradiance; and iii) understanding of the effects of solar and stellar
variability on Earth climate and exoplanet environments, respectively.

Further information is available at
solve.mps.mpg.de/topical_collection.shtml, which will be updated as the
Topical Collection proceeds.

Potential authors are asked to submit a letter of interest (LOI) with a
tentative title, author list, and suggestions for reviewers by 15
February 2019 to IrradianceTopicalCollection@gmail.com. The deadline for
manuscript submission is 30 April 2019.
