LASSOS-I workshop

The first Large-scale structures originating from the Sun (LASSOS) – I workshop was held during October 17-18 in hybrid format with more than 40 participants from different organizations (NASA/CCMC, NASA/M2M, NRL, JHU/ APL, CUA, Goucher college, ADNET Sys., GMU, CFA Harvard, etc.). The workshop was focused on different aspects of large-scale structures, from remote-sensing observations to in-situ measurements, covering different perspectives such as their dynamics, interactions, space weather impacts. 

Some of the important questions addressed during the workshop are:

• Nested MFRs in ICMEs--Can they Exist? How Would they Appear in In-Situ Traces?
• How does the distortion or deformation or expansion impact the FR stability?
• Looking for a good-balanced resource for internal investigations and service to the community.
• Sheared Arcade to MFR Transition: Do We Have a Handle on This?
• How does the distortion or deformation or expansion impact the FR stability?
• How do the multi-view point remote sensing observation from new telescopes improve our understanding on FR morphology?
• How remote sensing analysis can help in understanding the distortion and evolution of large-scale structures?
• What should be the minimum number of multi-view observations?
• How reliable are the current ML-based models? What are the ways undertaken to improve them?
• How far are we to implement them in real-time ?
• What are the ideas for relevant ML data sets to create / share?
• How multi-spacecraft events can be helpful in an ML based model?
