A Journal for Solar and Solar-Stellar Research and the Study of Solar-Terrestrial Physics

Publishing model:

Solar Physics - Call for papers: "Coronal Cooling: Rain, Prominences and Eruptions"

Topical Collection of Solar Physics on “Coronal Cooling: Rain, Prominences and Eruptions”

This article collection focuses on the theoretical, modelled, and observational formation and development of cool plasma within the solar corona. Particular attention is paid to coronal rain and solar prominences, and also their associated eruptive phenomena.

We encourage submissions to topics such as:

  • MHD spectroscopy,
  • fluid and magnetic instabilities,
  • multiphase plasma evolution,
  • NLTE radiative transfer.

In particular, we encourage submissions that explore how combinations of observations, theoretical modelling, and simulations can together provide us with the answers to science questions regarding cool plasma formation, its evolution, and its role in the global stability of its bounding environment.

New Content ItemBased on peer-reviewed contributions from the Coronal Cooling Conference, Leuven, May 21-24, 2024, this collection is not a conference proceedings, and it is not limited to research presented at the conference. All submissions must be completed original papers that meet the regular quality of the journal.

Deadline: Submission to the Topical Collection "Coronal Cooling: Rain, Prominences and Eruptions" is already open. All manuscripts should be submitted for review no later than 1 June 2025. The deadline for submission might be prolonged by mutual agreement. Do let us know if you have any issues regarding that deadline.

Submission procedure: Authors making a contribution should submit through the submission system. Instructions for authors are given on the journal homepage: https://link.springer.com/journal/11207

It is important that authors select a submission to the collection "Coronal Cooling: Rain, Prominences and Eruptions" during the submission process.

Open Access: Corresponding authors affiliated with institutes that have a Read and Publish Agreement with the Publisher are entitled to publish Open Access (OA) in the journal with fees covered as described by the relevant agreement. Articles not covered by such agreements can be published OA at the authors’ discretion and at the applicable rate.

Traditional Subscription Publishing: No publications fees apply for authors selecting the traditional subscription model.

Review process: All submission are subject to regular single blind peer review.

Final decisions: Regardless of the refereeing recommendations, final decisions on all manuscripts of the Topical Issue remain prerogative of the Editors-in-Chief of the Solar Physics journal.
