HelioIndex

A Directory of Active Researchers in Solar & Heliospheric Physics

Created by Dr. Peter R. Young

HelioIndex is a directory of active researchers in Solar & Heliospheric Physics (SHP) that is regularly updated through automatic software procedures. It is derived from ORCID iDs and publication data obtained through ORCID and the the Astrophysics Data System. HelioIndex is described in the article P.R. Young (2025, Solar Physics).

The principal product of HelioIndex is the table below, which contains the list of SHP authors, together with their affiliations and the most common keywords linked to the authors' publications.

HelioIndex - Table of Authors

The table is also available as a comma-separated values (CSV) file.

The author table is updated on the 8th and 22nd of each month. The supplementary data below give additional information about the HelioIndex authors and their works.
