LAST CALL FOR ABSTRACTS TO “Magnetic topology and energetic particles in the solar system”

EGU 2010 Session ST1.4, 02-07 May 2010, Vienna, Austria.
————————————————————————————-

This session is a forum with special emphasis on energetic particles arising in the slow and fast solar wind, co-rotating interactions regions, interplanetary or planetary shocks and foreshock regions, and from magnetic reconnection events such as solar flares. Remote or in-situ observations of the particle populations in the solar system are continuously ongoing owing to several dedicated spacecraft missions (from new generations of spacecraft like STEREO and THEMIS and earlier ones like ACE, SOHO, WIND, Cluster, RHESSI, etc.). Their measurements, the associated data analysis, as well as theoretical considerations provide crucial information for understanding the sources of the particle populations, their acceleration and propagation/transport processes. Magnetic topology plays an important role through parallel and perpendicular shock geometries, the trapping of the energetic particles and re-acceleration from long-lived acceleration sites. This session invites contributions on a wide range of theoretical, modeling and observational topics. The signatures of the various forms of plasma interactions, the effects of dynamically evolving magnetic field configurations such as resonant magnetic field lines or expanding flux ropes, or using the particles to probe the magnetic topology of the structures they originate from are highly relevant.

Confirmed solicited speakers:

-Lyndsay Fletcher, University of Glasgow, UK
-Sam Krucker, University of California, Berkeley, USA
-Vladimir Krasnosselskikh, LPCE/CNRS, Orleans, France
-One other, TBA

Contributions for oral and poster presentations are now solicited.

Important deadlines:
Abstract submission: January 18, 2010
Pre-registration: March 31, 2010

Conveners:
Claire Foullon, University of Warwick, UK (claire.foullon@warwick.ac.uk)
Harald Kucharek, University fo New Hampshire, USA (harald.kucharek@unh.edu)
Olga Malandraki, National Observatory of Athens, Greece (omaland@astro.noa.gr)
