Abstract

The Stellar Imager mission concept is a space-based UV/Optical interferometer designed to resolve surface magnetic activity and subsurface structure and flows of a population of Sun-like stars, in order to accelerate the development and validation of a predictive dynamo model for the Sun and enable accurate long-term forecasting of solar/stellar magnetic activity.<br />Comment: A Mission Whitepaper submitted to the 2013-2022 Decadal Survey in Solar and Space Physics
