The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)

J. R. Lemen, A. M. Title, D. J. Akin et al. · 1 Jun 2011

The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) provides multiple simultaneous high-resolution full-disk images of the corona and transition region up to 0.5 R ⊙ above the solar limb with 1.5-arcsec spatial resolution and 12-second temporal resolution. The AIA consists of four telescopes that employ normal-incidence, multilayer-coated optics to provide narrow-band imaging of seven extreme ultraviolet (EUV) band…

The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)

W. D. Pesnell, B. J. Thompson, Phillip C. Chamberlin · 17 Oct 2011

The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) was launched on 11 February 2010 at 15:23 UT from Kennedy Space Center aboard an Atlas V 401 (AV-021) launch vehicle. A series of apogee-motor firings lifted SDO from an initial geosynchronous transfer orbit into a circular geosynchronous orbit inclined by 28° about the longitude of the SDO-dedicated ground station…

The Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) Investigation for the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)

P. H. Scherrer, J. Schou, R. I. Bush et al. · 17 Oct 2011

The Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) instrument and investigation as a part of the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is designed to study convection-zone dynamics and the solar dynamo, the origin and evolution of sunspots, active regions, and complexes of activity, the sources and drivers of solar magnetic activity and disturbances, links between the internal…

Solar Physics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Solar Physics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Solar Physics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Solar Physics use?
Solar Physics uses Superscript numbered (Nature) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A., Jones, B. & Lee, C. A representative article title. Solar Physics 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Solar Physics?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Springer Nature-ready Solar Physics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Solar Physics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Solar Physics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
Who publishes Solar Physics?
Solar Physics is a multidisciplinary journal published by Springer Nature. DocuGuru's Solar Physics template matches Springer Nature's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Solar Physics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Solar Physics template (the sn-jnl class) that is ready to submit to Springer Nature, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Solar Physics template cost?
You can start writing in the Solar Physics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Solar Physics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
