IAU Commission 10: Solar Activity

Commission 10 (Solar Activity) is one of three commissions in Division E (Sun and Heliosphere) of the IAU, the other two being Commissions 12 (Solar Radiation and Structure) and 49 (Interplanetary Plasma and Heliosphere). The objective of the IAU is to "promote the science of astronomy in all its aspects," and the role of the commissions is to "organize the work of the Union in specialized subsets of the fields of their parent Division."

Commission 10 aims to facilitate progress in understanding all aspects of solar activity, ranging from plasma heating to explosive eruptions, and in particular to coordinate international efforts in this regard. We welcome all individuals interested in pursuing our goals.
