*AGU Fall Meeting 2019 session SH001 Acceleration and Transport Processes
of Energetic Electrons in Solar Flares and Interplanetary Space - abstract
submission now open. *
The abstract submission for the AGU Fall Meeting 2019 session SH001
— Acceleration and Transport Processes of Energetic Electrons in Solar
Flares and Interplanetary Space is now open.
We welcome contributions from a broad range of topics that aim to address
common challenges involved in understanding particle acceleration and
transport at the Sun and in the heliosphere, from observations,
theory and modelling.

*Meeting date:* AGU Fall Meeting 9-13 December 2019, San Francisco, CA.
*Session organisers: *Frederic Effenberger (Helmholtz Center, Potsdam),
Sophie Musset (UMN), Nina Dresing (U. of Kiel) & Natasha Jeffrey (U. of
Glasgow).
*Abstract submission deadline:* 31 July 2019 23:59 EDT/03:59 +1 GMT

*Session abstract:*
The relation between energetic particle populations accelerated at the Sun,
as seen in radiative signatures, and particles measured in-situ, is a
fundamental subject in Heliophysics. Observations during the RHESSI era
demonstrated the still poorly understood existence of a connection between
solar flare signatures of accelerated electrons at the Sun and the
corresponding solar energetic particles detected at 1AU. A key question is
thus: Can these distinctly observed electron populations originate from the
same flare-acceleration region? Different acceleration and transport
processes in the solar atmosphere and in interplanetary space
can contribute to the observed non-thermal temporal, spatial, and spectral
particle signatures. We encourage contributions from
observational, theoretical and simulation studies addressing this topic.
Cross-community, joined efforts hold the potential to lead to a
greater understanding of the important physical processes involved in
electron acceleration and will enable new approaches to interpret the
near-Sun observations from Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter.
