Workshop Overview:
Building upon the promising ideas sparked at the inaugural Pathways to Observing Particle Environments of Stars and Exoplanets workshop, the second workshop convenes four key working groups focused on
Teams will share the results of their interim studies, offering their findings on open questions and new ideas regarding the observation of elusive particle space weather in the extrasolar planetary context.
This second workshop will enable the group to build upon its creativity, focused on laying the strategic groundwork for concrete action, including new observations, instrument innovations, and mission concepts and with an eye towards potential funding opportunities. We also will dedicate time to consolidating our collective knowledge into a landmark report, outlining key observational and modeling capabilities needed and the technical steps required to establish them, mapping the pathway to increasing the quantity, quality, and constraining power of stellar space weather observations. Together, workshop participants will pave the way for a deeper understanding of dynamic stellar systems that aims to unlock secrets about extrasolar planetary habitability and the history of our own Solar System.
