Scientific paper

Our view of the solar corona has been revolutionized by Yohkoh. Yohkoh has shown that the hot corona is extremely dynamic, with magnetic reconnection, rapid heating, and mass ejection being common phenomena. The next vital step is to understand magnetic origins of coronal dynamics and heating. Solar-B, Japan's next solar physics mission, is designed to study the connection of the dynamics and heating observed in the corona with the magnetic field at the solar surface. Solar-B will carry a medium-sized optical telescope capable of measuring vector magnetic fields on the solar surface, together with two X-ray/EUV imaging instruments for the solar corona. The Solar-B program is now in the conceptual design study phase. ISAS, in collaboration with NASA (U.S.A.) and PPARC (U.K.), plans to launch Solar-B as its 22nd science satellite in summer 2004.
