Talk

For more than two decades, the Virtual Solar Observatory has provided a common interface for discovering and accessing solar and heliophysics data held by distributed archives. VSO 2.0 modernizes this infrastructure by replacing the original Perl- and SOAP-based system with a predominantly Python-based, REST-oriented architecture.

This presentation provides a high-level overview of VSO 2.0,...

100. The Heliophysics Software Search Interface: Current Status and Overview

Julie Barnum (Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics and University of Colorado Boulder)

Talk

Modern research workflows increasingly require side-by-side discovery of publications, data, and software. Existing efforts increasingly provide this interlinked discovery for publications (Science Explorer (Sci-X)) and data (HelioData). Current Heliophysics scientific software interfaces, however, are lacking in relevance for Heliophysics, connection to data and publications, and...

8. From Launch to Archive in Hours: The SMILE Mission

Talk

The Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) is a joint mission between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) dedicated to studying the interaction between the solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere. Beyond its scientific objectives, SMILE represents an important historic milestone for the ESAC Science Data Centre (ESDC): it is the first ESA...

4. Using Free and Open-Source Tools to Manage Your Infrastructure

Talk

Whether you’re working with on-prem or cloud servers, you will need to give the right people access, install software dependencies, manage firewalls, set up domain names, perform system updates, and whatever other application-specific tasks are required to keep your services functioning. In this talk, I present the tools that The Helioviewer Project’s development team has adopted for managing...

81. Escaping the Two Week Sprint

Umer Salman (Southwest Research Institute)

10/7/26, 12:00 PM

DASH General

Talk

Research software engineers often work in environments where priorities shift quickly, projects overlap, and responsibilities are not always clearly defined. There is always another scientist to support, another bug to fix, or another deadline to meet. Early in my RSE career, I have found that surviving the day-to-day work is only part of the challenge. While this work is necessary, so is...

74. SEPsando: a web-based sandbox for multipoint solar energetic particle and space weather events

Fernando Carcaboso

DASH General

Talk

Interpreting multipoint solar energetic particle (SEP) events requires reconciling spacecraft positions, magnetic connectivity, coronal mass ejection and flare properties, interplanetary shocks, and in situ plasma signatures across many missions, together with the interpretation of different models. That information already exists (CDAWeb, SSCWeb, OMNIWeb, DONKI, ISWA, Helioviewer, HEK, etc.)...
