The Sun in Focus: Current Findings and Challenges in Solar Physics — •Markus Roth — Thüringer Landessternwarte Tautenburg

We are living with the Sun in our solar system -- a star which has served as a paradigm for astrophysics for many decades. Even though this star is the closest to us it still holds a multitude of secrets, and fascinates astronomers and physicists alike. With dedicated instruments in space and on the ground the various aspects of these secrets are revealed, ranging from the structure and dynamics of the outer solar atmosphere to the deep solar interior. Current research projects and technological advances aim to study the Sun with unprecedented precision. Hence solar physics plays a crucial role in astrophysics and in understanding the origins of space weather. This talk will offer exciting new insights into the fascinating world of solar research and its growing relevance for astrophysics and beyond.
