Agentic AI and LLM Applications in Heliophysics

Lightning Talk

In order to link papers of heliophysics to their dataset, we need to retrieve certain informations in the text, such as the name of the measuring instrument, the time range of observation that is studied in the paper, as well as some other observational parameters. Moreover, in the objective of reproducing figures in papers for detecting errors in datasets, we aim at retrieving informations...

Under the Hood: Lessons Learned in Mission Data Systems

Lightning Talk

Triggered sounding rocket launches impose an unusual set of software requirements on heliophysics data systems: a decision must be made within minutes, from heterogeneous low-latency streams, with no opportunity to re-run the analysis. The first NASA sounding rocket solar flare campaign (FOXSI-4 and Hi-C Flare, 2024 April 17) showed that a purpose-built real-time alert system can deliver...

The torus is composed predominantly of sulfur and oxygen ions supplied by an extended atomic neutral cloud ultimately derived from $SO{_2}$ in Io's atmosphere. The major species of the torus are $S^{+}$, $S^{++}$, $S^{+++}$, $O^{+}$, and $O^{++}$. The emission is diagnostic of plasma conditions, and the majority of the emission is in the UV where a terawatt of energy is emitted. The emission...

Ground-Based Heliophysics Data: Distribution, Discovery, and Science Enablement

Lightning Talk

The performance and adoption of cloud-provided services has made petabyte-scale datasets from diverse missions increasingly available, yet accessibility without usability diminishes their scientific value. The FAIR data principles—Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable—provide a strong framework for evaluating dataset utility. However, an equally critical and often underemphasized...

90. The Watchful Eye: Cloud Security, Monitoring, and Emerging Threats in Modern Scientific Infrastructure

Lightning Talk

As scientific workloads migrate to the cloud, securing research infrastructure against automated threats, opportunistic cryptominers, agentic bad actors, and even non-agentic LLMs is a growing challenge. This security must be balanced with the accessibility required for reproducible science.

To address this, we share insights from operating cloud-based scientific platforms, detailing an...
