As part of the E-SWAN school, IRAP proposes an optional day of work at the Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie in Toulouse, the main Astrophysics institute in the South-West of France, on Friday, November 19, 2023.

This day will be divided into several sessions of practical work dedicated to various public tools developed for space plasma physics and space weather forecasting. These tools can help visualize, manipulate, and perform sophisticated analysis on observational and simulation data of the solar corona, the solar wind, the magnetospheres and the ionospheres of the main planets of the solar system. Some of these tools also provide forecasts of the state of the solar corona, the solar winds and storms. A non-exhaustive list is available here:

http://connect-tool.irap.omp.eu/ (and the associated Shock-SEP forecasting tool)

In addition, guided tours will be proposed around the clean rooms of the laboratory, in which are built, tested and calibrated key instruments selected on many space missions of the main space agencies (Solar Orbiter, BepiColombo, JUICE, Comet Interceptor, HelioSwarm, but also Curiosity and Mars2020...).

The Friday Visit day is organised by IRAP.
