Description
The Solar Orbiter Python Working Group, part of the Modelling and Data Analysis Working Group (MADAWG) initiative, specifically supports multi-instrument research using Solar Orbiter observations. Its goal is to address the growing need for coordinated and interoperable Python tools that enables joint analysis across instruments and facilitate connections with broader space weather research. to support multi-instrument solar and space weather research. By consolidating analysis packages developed by individual Solar Orbiter instrument teams and integrating them within the widely adopted SunPy ecosystem, the group promotes sustainable, community-driven software development while ensuring that Solar Orbiter data can be fully exploited in a consistent and interoperable way.
Since its establishment in late 2024, the working group has facilitated regular coordination, surveyed tool capabilities and user needs, and launched a comprehensive documentation hub to ensure easy access, standardized data containers, and ready-to-use workflows.
By streamlining software tools, reducing fragmentation, and coordinating modelling efforts for connectivity and instrument pointing during Remote Sensing Windows (RSWs), the MADAWG enables seamless multi-instrument exploitation of Solar Orbiter data. These capabilities are critical for understanding solar phenomena and their heliospheric impacts, as well as for supporting coordinated observations with other missions. This poster presents the group’s achievements, challenges, and vision for ongoing community engagement to accelerate scientific discovery and enhance operational space weather applications.
