Rationale

Cosmic Vision 2047: Solar and Planetary Dynamics through Observations and AI/ML

Our understanding of the Sun and its influence on planetary systems has evolved significantly with advancements in observational techniques, data-driven analysis, and computational modeling. The increasing volume of solar and planetary data demands innovative approaches to extract meaningful insights, predict dynamic events, and explore cosmic phenomena. The symposium titled "Cosmic Vision 2047: Solar and Planetary Dynamics through Observations and AI/ML" aims to provide a focused platform for discussing recent breakthroughs in solar physics, planetary science, and space weather prediction by integrating observational data, theoretical models, and emerging AI/ML techniques. As India’s scientific community advances toward its centenary goals in 2047, this symposium will foster interdisciplinary collaboration to address critical challenges in understanding the Sun’s role in shaping planetary environments.

Solar Observations: Unlocking the Sun’s Secrets

Accurate solar observations are essential for understanding the Sun’s dynamic processes, such as solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and their impact on planetary systems. The Aditya-L1 mission, India's first dedicated solar observatory, marks a significant step in this direction. Positioned at the L1 Lagrange point, Aditya-L1 provides uninterrupted observations of the Sun’s corona, magnetic fields, and plasma dynamics. The mission's instruments, including the Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC) and Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT), are designed to capture high-resolution data crucial for investigating solar variability, heliosphere dynamics, and space weather forecasting. By combining Aditya-L1 data with observations from international missions like NASA’s >Parker Solar Probe and ESA’s Solar Orbiter, researchers can build a comprehensive picture of solar activity and its far-reaching effects.

Planetary Dynamics: Tracing Solar-Planetary Interactions

The Sun’s radiation and magnetic activity influence planetary atmospheres, climate systems, and magnetic fields. Missions like Mars Orbiter Mission (Mangalyaan) and Chandrayaan-3 have expanded our knowledge of planetary surface conditions and atmospheric evolution. By integrating solar data with planetary observations, scientists can investigate phenomena such as atmospheric erosion, magnetic reconnection events, and auroral activity on planets like Mars, Venus, and Earth. The symposium will emphasize how solar variability drives planetary space weather conditions and discuss its implications for satellite operations, communication networks, and astronaut safety.

AI/ML in Solar and Planetary Research: A Data-Driven Revolution

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) andMachine Learning (ML) is transforming solar and planetary research by enhancing data analysis, pattern recognition, and predictive capabilities. Techniques such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and unsupervised learning are proving highly effective in identifying solar flares, CME trajectories, and planetary surface features. For instance, AI/ML models trained on Aditya-L1 data can significantly improve solar storm prediction accuracy, while ML algorithms applied to planetary imaging data are enhancing surface mapping and feature identification. The symposium will highlight case studies where AI/ML techniques have accelerated discoveries in solar physics and planetary science.

Bridging Disciplines for Cosmic Exploration

This symposium will promote collaboration between researchers in solar physics, planetary science, computational modeling, and data science. By bringing together experts from diverse fields, the event will facilitate the development of robust models that integrate observational data with predictive algorithms. Such interdisciplinary efforts are vital for improving space weather forecasts, understanding planetary climate systems, and advancing future space exploration missions.

Conclusion

The symposium "Cosmic Vision 2047" aligns with India’s vision of scientific leadership as the nation approaches its centenary in 2047. By uniting experts in solar and planetary science with innovators in AI/ML, this event aims to foster new research directions, improve predictive capabilities, and inspire the next generation of scientists.

About Pink City- Jaipur

Jaipur, the world-renowned Pink City has an interesting mix of modern infrastructure with a rich heritage and culture which makes Jaipur a very charming city. Known for their hospitality, the people of Jaipur are really welcoming and helpful. The Capital City of Rajasthan, Jaipur was founded by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II of Amber in 1727. At that time, Jaipur was one of the best-planned cities of the world. Jaipur forms a part of the West Golden Triangle tourist circuit along with Agra.Jaipur is well connected to almost every corner of India via different means of public transport including air, rail and road. Jaipur is a popular tourist destination in India and serves as a gateway to other tourist destinations in Rajasthan.
The magnificent forts, beautiful havelis and colorful bazaars make Jaipur a popular tourist destination among tourists. Hawa Mahal, Amber Fort, Jaigarh Fort and Nahargarh Fort are popular tourist attractions in Jaipur. Jantar Mantar, built in stone and marble, is the most extensive of the five observatories is a popular tourist attraction in Jaipur showcases India's scientific prowess in a time when US didn't exist. Other major tourist attractions in Jaipur include the Birla Mandir, Govind Dev Ji Mandir, Rambagh Palace, Central Museum and Kanak Valley etc.
