Description
The rise of kink-unstable magnetic flux tubes through the solar convection zone is discussed with a view to explaining the subsurface origin of active regions. In spite of the advances and insights obtained by analytical and numerical means in the past decade(s), there are still important uncertainties as to the viability of a mechanism of this kind to explain the origin of sunspots and active regions. In this paper, the main features of the rise of kink unstable tubes and some open questions regarding this process are presented.

    Determination of the near-UV absorption in the spectra of primitive asteroids
    C-complex asteroids are dark, low-albedo objects, mainly containing carbon components. Their spectra are usually featureless, especially in the visible-near-infrared (VNIR) wavelengths. However, for some taxonomic types, absorption has been found in the near-UV (NUV) range. Laboratory studies have shown similarities to spectra of chondrite

    Hyperspectral imaging of meteorites using the HyperScout-H instrument
    Introduction The cosine* HyperScout-H (HS-H) instrument will fly aboard the ESA/Hera spacecraft. This mission [1], focused on planetary defense, aims to thoroughly characterize the (65803) Didymos near-Earth binary asteroid following the impact of the NASA/DART mission. It will launch in October 2024 and it is expected to reach the target by

    Machine Learning for Future Hyperspectral Data Analysis with the Hyperscout-H instrument on the ESA's Hera Mission
    Introduction Hera is ESA's first planetary defense mission designed to characterize the binary near-Earth asteroid (65803) Didymos [1]. Its secondary component, Dimorphos, was the target of the large-scale controlled collision with the NASA/DART spacecraft in September 2022 [2]. Thus, the Hera mission will provide an unprecedented opportunity to
