Description

The Sun is a high-energy emission source due to cosmic rays interacting with the solar atmosphere, but the physics of these emissions are still poorly understood. Fermi and HAWC solar gamma-ray observations have shown that the emission from GeV to TeV must be strongly affected by solar magnetic fields. I will discuss the progress in solar gamma-ray observations, and what they could tell us about the magnetic condition of the Sun.
