NEW BOOK: 'Solar Particle Radiation Storms Forecasting and Analysis, The HESPERIA HORIZON 2020 Project and Beyond', Springer, Astrophysics and Space Science Library, 2018

We are glad to announce the publication in the Springer, ASSL series, of the New Book entitled: 'Solar Particle Radiation Storms Forecasting and Analysis, The HESPERIA HORIZON 2020 Project and Beyond'.

Editors: Olga E. Malandraki (National Observatory of Athens, Athens, Greece) and Norma B. Crosby (Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy, Brussels, Belgium)

OPEN ACCESS of the e-Book is provided here: http://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319600505. This book:

- Explains why it is important to understand the effects of solar energetic particles (SEPs) and be able to predict them from a modern society perspective

- Presents most recent state-of-the-art scientific results on SEPs

- Provides the reader with basic textbook type chapters on SEP origin, SEP acceleration and propagation, SEP interpretation, and SEP forecasting

- Can be used both as background course material to complement other textbook material, as well as a reference book for more senior scientists

Solar energetic particles (SEPs) emitted from the Sun are a major space weather hazard motivating the development of predictive capabilities. This book presents the results and findings of the HESPERIA (High Energy Solar Particle Events forecasting and Analysis) project of the EU HORIZON 2020 programme. It discusses the forecasting operational tools developed within the project, and presents progress to SEP research contributed by HESPERIA both from the observational as well as the SEP modelling perspective. Using multi-frequency observational data and simulations HESPERIA investigated the chain of processes from particle acceleration in the corona, particle transport in the magnetically complex corona and interplanetary space, to the detection near 1 AU. The book also elaborates on the unique software that has been constructed for inverting observations of relativistic SEPs to physical parameters that can be compared with space-borne measurements at lower energies.

Introductory and pedagogical material included in the book make it accessible to students at graduate level and will be useful as background material for Space Physics and Space Weather courses with emphasis on Solar Energetic Particle Event Forecasting and Analysis. This book is published with open access under a CC BY license.

Our HESPERIA tools for space weather were extensively presented in the 14th European Space Weather Week in Oostende last week.

Also, during the Space Weather Fair. Lots of scientists came by our dedicated stand and it was a success!! Beer tasting of nice Belgian beers followed!!!

In Bern Switzerland this week at the International Space Science Institute - ISSI- http://www.issibern.ch/ as a member of the International team - 405. We won a very competitive proposal for studies of our SUN!

HESPERIA's Final Review Meeting in Athens!
Thank you all of you for the great collaboration!
