Freiburg, August 31 – September 4, 2015
Conference description:
The 3rd Solarnet / 7th HELAS international conference “The Sun, the stars, and Solar-stellar relations” will take place in Freiburg (Germany) between 31 August – 4 September 2015, organized by the Kiepenheuer-Institut für Sonnenphysik (KIS). SOLARNET (High-resolution solar Physics Network) is an international project promoted by the European Association for Solar Telescopes and funded by the European Commission (see www.solarnet-east.eu). HELAS is the European Helio- and Asteroseismology Network which aims at coordinating the activities of the research groups active in helio-and asteroseismology.
The purpose of this conference is to discuss the latest questions and results in solar and stellar physics. Solar and stellar seismology will be one particular focus but contributions on all aspects of solar-stellar relations will be welcome. We aim to establish links and synergies between the day- and night-time fields of astrophysics.
In detail, the following topics will be addressed in individual sessions:
I.) Solar and stellar observations
– Spectroscopy
– Polarimetry
– Atmospheric Structures
– Abundances
II.) Solar and stellar modelling
– Structure Models
– Atmospheric Models
– Rotation, Flows, Convection
– Solar and stellar dynamos
– (Magneto-)hydrodynamical simulations
III.) Solar and stellar seismology
– Seismic inferences of solar and stellar structure
– Solar-stellar rotation
– Probing of large-scale flows in the sun & stars
– Seismology of activity
V.) Solar and stellar activity
– Starspots / Sunspots
– Solar Flares
– Stellar Flares
– Magnetic Cycles
Splinter Sessions:
Splinter sessions can be organized on Monday morning (9:00 – 12:30) and Friday afternoon (14:00 – 18:00). In case you would like to organize a splinter session please contact Markus Roth (mroth@kis.uni-freiburg.de)
