<div>Hi all,<br>
<br>
this week our seminar is given by Jenny Carter (Leicester), talking about SMILE, the magnetopause and aurora! The seminar will be in C4. This seminar will be the final of this term.<br>
<br>
Post-seminar refreshments will be wine and cheese.<br>
<br>
Timings are as usual:<br>
<br>
- lunch at Lakeside, leaving CAPT ~13:00 (subsidised for a limited number of students -- let me know before the end of the day tomorrow)<br>
- meet the speaker for postgrads at 15:00, finishing at 15:30<br>
- seminar at 15:45 in C5/C4<br>
- post-seminar wine and cheese at 16:45<br>
<br>
This seminar will be conducted in person only.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Jesse and Luke<br>

SMILE! The first simultaneous images of the magnetopause and aurora<br>
<br>
The Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) is a joint European Space Agency, Chinese Academy of Sciences mission due for launch in 2024 to explore coupling between the solar wind and Earth’s magnetosphere. SMILE will simultaneously monitor
the movement of the magnetopause boundary and the subsequent response of the Northern Hemisphere ionosphere using two imaging cameras with offset field of views. The magnetopause is known to respond to changes in the incoming solar wind and interplanetary
field, but this will be the first time that real-time images of this movement will be tracked. The high-latitude ionosphere is connected to near-Earth space via terrestrial magnetic field lines. Phenomena in the ionosphere, such as patches of aurora and precipitating
particle signatures may be provoked as a direct result of processes at the dayside magnetopause. Alternatively, nightside or magnetotail processes lead to the large-scale phenomena such as a substorm. In this talk we will explore how SMILE will contribute
to resolving the large outstanding questions regarding the Earth’s magnetosphere. We will examine the efforts of the global solar-terrestrial community to use multiple and varied experimental data, for example from radar, ground magnetometers, and all-sky
auroral imagers in unravelling these questions at large, medium, and small temporal and spatial scales.</div>
