Solar Physics has introduced a Topical Issue titled “How SDO Has Revolutionized Our Understanding of the Sun”. Details of this issue can be found at: How SDO Has Revolutionized Our Understanding of the Sun | SpringerLink

We invite research submissions that explore how enhanced data and advanced modeling from Solar Cycles 24 and 25 have deepened our understanding of the solar magnetic fields, internal dynamics, and solar activity. Of particular interest are studies demonstrating how these studies have improved activity predictions and space weather forecasting. While SDO data and science form the core of this collection, given their extensive coverage across various spatial and temporal scales, contributions incorporating data from other observatories, theoretical models, and simulations are also encouraged.  We welcome diverse contributions that expand upon these themes.

Importantly, this topical collection is not a conference proceeding and is not restricted to research presented at the workshop.

All manuscripts will undergo peer review in accordance with the quality standards of Solar Physics. Reviews will commence immediately upon submission, and accepted manuscripts will be published without waiting for the Topical Issue closure in electronic format.
