I wanted to bring your attention to the “Python in Astronomy” session at NAM 2017, for which abstract submission is now open.
If you have done any solar physics work in Python we welcome abstract submissions discussing the work you have done, focusing on the tools you used and the challenges you overcame.
It would be great to have solar physics well represented in this session.… continue to the full article
We invite applications for contributed talks to this UKSP parallel session at NAM2017. It will run over two 90-minute slots on the afternoon of Tuesday 4th July. Our aim is to bring together scientists from all areas of the solar and heliospheric communities to consider results from the wide variety of data that bear on the unusual Cycle 24, its causes, and what those results might signal for the next cycle.
Further details of the session may be found on the conference website at:

We invite abstract submissions for the session ‘Latest Trends In Observing And Understanding The Dynamics Of The Solar Atmosphere: From MHD Waves To Small-Scale Transients’ which will take place at NAM2017.
The Sun is a highly structured and dynamic body, containing a wide range of waves, instabilities, and more transient, sometimes explosive, phenomena (e.g., Ellerman bombs, swirls, spicules). This session will highlight and discuss recent improvements in our understanding of the dynamics of the solar atmosphere including: (i) how transient events are driven; (ii) the detection, interpretation, and analysis of MHD waves in solar wave-guides; (iii) what MHD waves can tell us about the local background plasma properties (through techniques such as solar magneto-seismology).
The deadline for abstract submission is April 14, 2017.

We invite abstract submission for the National Astronomy Meeting 2017 session “The Physical Processes Underlying Space Weather: Formation, Eruption and Propagation of Coronal Mass Ejections”.
The aim of the session is to bring together solar and heliospheric physicists, both modelers and observers, to discuss the formation and evolution of magnetic flux ropes with particular focus on (1) what are the universal physical mechanisms responsible for triggering solar eruptions, (2) how and when magnetic flux ropes are formed, (3) how their structure evolves during their propagation through the inner heliosphere, and (4) how the structure of the interplanetary magnetic clouds relate to their source regions on the Sun.
The NAM 2017 will be hosted at the University of Hull (UK) during the 2nd-6th July 2017. We note that this is shortly before the IAU Symposium on Space Weather of the Heliosphere in Exeter (UK), and that this perhaps provides an opportunity for colleagues from further afield to combine two meetings.
Please note that the deadline for abstract submission is April 14, 2017.

Dear Colleague.
I would like to draw your attention to the impending abstract-submission deadline of 15 February 2017 (Singapore time) for submissions to this year’s AOGS meeting in Singapore (06-11 August 2017). The abstract-submission site is here: http://www.meetmatt-svr3.net/aogs/aogs2017/mars2/login.asp and the full list of sessions is here: http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2017/public.asp?page=sessionList.htm.
The following sessions I would like to advertise for which I am a convenor/co-convenor and would like to ask for contributed abstracts to be submitted to one or more are as follows:
ST14 – Sun and Heliosphere General Session Including Helioseismology and Solar Diagnostic Techniques
ST20 – Forecasting Solar-wind and Magnetic-field Parameters Throughout the Inner Heliosphere
ST24 – Broadband Radio Solar, Coronal, Heliospheric, and Ionospheric Physics: Observations, Theory, Modelling, and Scientific Investigation
ST26 – General Session for Upper Atmosphere and Ionosphere
ST27 – Mesosphere-thermosphere-ionosphere Coupling Processes on Global Scale
Please remember that each AOGS registration covers the presentation of up to two abstracts – you do not need to be the first author of both abstracts but can be the presenting author as long as you are named on each abstract you are to present. This counts for both oral and poster presentations. Full regulations and costs can be found here: http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2017/public.asp?page=abstract.htm.
And here are the other sessions relevant to Sun and Heliosphere:
ST02 – Energetic Particle Acceleration and Transport in the Heliosphere
ST06 – Origin, Eruption, Propagation and Space Weather Effect of Magnetic Flux Ropes
ST07 – THE WAVE COUPLING BETWEEN THE LOWER SOLAR ATMOSPHERE AND CORONA: MHD APPROACH
ST08 – Sun-earth System Response to Extreme Solar and Seismic Events
ST09 – Magnetic Reconnection in Space Plasma: Observations and Simulations
ST12 – Waves and Turbulence in the Solar Atmosphere and Solar Wind
ST13 – Global Solar Wind-planetary Environment Interactions : a Comparative View of Recent Observations, Modeling and Numerical Simulations
ST16 – The Large-scale Interplanetary Phenomena: Sources, Properties and Space Weather Effects
ST22 – Use of Nano/microsatellites for Solar-terrestrial Studies
ST23 – Future and Current Space Missions and Instrumentation for Space and Planetary Science
Looking forward to seeing you in Singapore.
Best wishes,
Mario.

This conference will take place at the University of Cambridge on 11-12 September, 2017 to mark Michael Proctor’s retirement.
The meeting will cover topics on which Mike’s scientific research has been focused throughout his career. We therefore encourage abstract submissions on dynamo theory, MHD, convection, magnetoconvection and other relevant topics. All abstract submissions are very welcome and we particularly encourage presentations from Mike’s former students and close collaborators.
Abstract submission can be completed here: https://goo.gl/forms/p4nhvwEAMWTNxlew1
There will be a conference fee, which will include the cost of a conference dinner at a local college in Cambridge. A second announcement with further details will appear in due course. If you would like to get more information before then, please contact the local organising team:
• Dr. Robert Teed (rt449(at)cam.ac.uk)
• Ms. Valeria Shumaylova (vs391(at)cam.ac.uk)
Please forward on this message to any additional colleagues who may be interested.… continue to the full article
This is the second announcement of the First China-Europe Solar Physics Meeting. Solar physics is an important branch of astrophysics, and is tightly related to the exploration in the deep space, and the space environment. Researches on solar physics and the topics in the related fields in Europe, especially those conducted in Germany, France, and Great Britain, have been well developed in many areas. In recent years, development in studies of solar physics in China is also significant, and solar physics has become a preponderant subjects compared to the other academic disciplines of astrophysics in China. In last three decades, collaborations between China and the European countries have been promoted and got tighter and tighter. There have been totally 4 China-France solar physics meetings and 2 China-Germany meetings have successfully held in China and Europe alternatively. To promote collaborations between China and the European countries in a wider area, and to allow more efficient communications among scientists, especially young scientists, from various countries, solar physicists from China and Europe decide to promote the first China-Europe Solar Physics Meeting in 2017.
