Open-Source Python Tools for the Analysis of Energetic Solar Eruptions

SERPENTINE (concluded 2024), SOLER and SPEARHEAD (both launched 2024) are projects funded by the European Union's research and innovation programmes Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe, respectively. They do not only aim at answering various scientific questions about energetic solar eruptions, but also have the goal to provide new and improved data products as well as novel data analysis and visualisation tools to benefit the wider heliophysics community. Multiple open source Python tools have already been developed within the 2024 concluded SERPENTINE project. These and forthcoming tools are specifically aimed at scientific users without much Python programming experience. They are mostly provided as descriptive Jupyter Notebooks that can be run locally, or online on the project's own JupyterHub server without needing any installation. Some selected tools are provided as even easier usable Streamlit apps that don't need any coding on the user's side and run completely in the cloud. One already widely-used example is the Solar-MACH tool that derives (using sunpy) and visualizes the spatial configuration and solar magnetic connection of different observers (i.e., spacecraft or planets) in the heliosphere at different times. In this presentation, we will present some of the tools already available, illustrating the underlying structure and workflow, and talk about experiences gained in the concluded project as well as plans for the future. This research has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101004159 (SERPENTINE) and from the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreements No 101134999 (SOLER) and 101135044 (SPEARHEAD).
