Synoptic Studies of the Sun as a Key to Understanding Stellar Astrospheres

Gosain, Sanjay; Ichimoto, Kiyoshi; Suematsu, Yoshinori +11 more

Ground-based solar observations provide key contextual data (i.e., the "big picture") to produce a complete description of the only astrosphere we can study in situ: our Sun's heliosphere. This white paper outlines the current paradigm for ground-based solar synoptic observations, and indicates those areas that will benefit from focused attention.
