Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solar activity remains a pivotal focus in solar physics research and is the source of space weather that can profoundly impact the Earth’s environment and our daily life. Thanks to remarkable advancements in both space-borne and ground-based observational techniques and facilities, numerical simulations, and machine learning techniques, we have witnessed fruitful achievements across various facets in the ongoing 25th solar cycle. Now that the cycle has experienced its first (possibly the only) peak, it is time to publish a Special Issue entitled ‘Solar Activity During Cycle 25’ in the Universe Journal published by MDPI.
This proposed Special Issue aims to showcase the latest research findings in solar activities, along with relevant theoretical modeling efforts and instrumental advancements. Potential topics include, but are not limited to
- Solar dynamo and the solar cycle;
- Solar magnetic field and its role in solar activity;
- Solar Flares: energy accumulation and release, triggers, dynamics, particle acceleration, and hard X-ray (HXR) emissions;
- Coronal mass ejections (CMEs): source region, acceleration, and dynamical evolution and propagation;
- Solar activity and space weather: modeling, prediction, and impact on Earth;
- Chromospheric and coronal heating: observational insights and simulation studies;
- Machine learning applications in the diagnosis and analysis of solar activity;
- Current and upcoming solar instrumentations.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
