Solar Orbiter
A deeplearning approach
The European space agency solar orbiter has had its second close encounter with the Sun and has recently captured video footage of the surface of the Sun with never before seen detail.
You can find the footage here (2.5 hours of real time compressed to a 87 second video): ESA - Solar Orbiter’s unprecedented view of the quiet coronaThis movie comes from 13 October, when the spacecraft’s Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) returned the highest resolution movie of the quiet corona ever taken.
This movie shows the dynamic nature of the Sun's million degree-hot corona.
We plan to use this footage to make an unsupervised detector for anomalous solar surface phenomena.
One such phenomenon that was revealed by the ESA mission is solar campfires which are small-scale, short-lived, coronal brightenings, and can appear as loop-like, dot-like, or complex structures. They are mostly rooted at the chromospheric network boundaries and their height lies between 1000 and 5000 km above the photosphere
