Coronal Loop Workshop VII – Heating of the Magnetically Closed Corona
DAMTP, CMS, University of Cambridge, 21-23 July 2015
SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear colleagues,
we are pleased to announce that the online registration and abstract submission for the 7th Coronal Loops Workshop to be held at the CMS, University of Cambridge, from 21-23 July 2015 will be open on February 4th. The workshop is expected to extend over three full days. A reception will take place on the evening of Monday, 20th July. A conference dinner will be held on Wednesday 22nd July.
A limited amount of funds may be available to support students and early
post-docs. Requests for financial support should be made via the comments
section when submitting an abstract.
Conference website: http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/astro/cl7/index.html
Registration and Deadlines:
* All abstracts due by 17 Apr 2015
* Financial support request (via abstract submission form) deadline: 17 Apr 2015
* Registration deadline: 1 Jun 2015 (100 GBP),reduced for students (50 GBP).
After this deadline please email loopworkshop@damtp.cam.ac.uk to check
availability to attend this workshop. The SOC intends to limit the number of
participants to ensure focused discussions.
Accommodation
We have made a block booking of 60 en-suite rooms at Gonville and Caius
college, a few minutes walking distance from the conference location.
Bookings for these rooms can be made via the registration form on the
conference website. The cost is 66 GBP per night (including breakfast). The
rooms are basic student-type accommodation and will be allocated on a first
come first served basis.
Hotels are available in the area (see links on the conference website), but
we strongly advise early booking.
Scientific Programme
The loops workshops are a series of highly focused workshops dealing with
the observation and modeling of magnetically confined plasma in active
regions. The programme and invited speakers are as follows:
Session 1 – Coronal Heating: Global Active Region Models and Mechanisms
– Heating mechanisms (reconnection vs waves vs spicules)
Mahboubeh Asgari-Targhi
– Global AR models (visualizations etc.)
Ignaki Ugarte-Urra
– Beyond hydro or MHD modeling
Tony Arber
Session 2 – Transition Region-Corona Connection
– Observations (IRIS, Hi-C, AIA, CRISP etc) vs theory; chromosphere
Bart De Pontieu
– Classical TR vs low lying cool loops
Pia Zacharis
– Role of spicules
Tiago Pereira
Session 3 – Fine Scale Structure and Non-equilibrium Processes
– Fine-scale structure of loops, and/or braiding (observations vs modeling)
Patrick Antolin
– Current sheets and turbulence
Bruno Coppi
– Diagnostics – developments and limitations
Peter Young
– Advances in treating non-equilibrium processes
Jaroslav Dudik
Session 4 – Wrap up session
– What doesn’t match up between theory and observations?
Philippa Browning and Harry Warren
PLEASE NOTE: Only abstracts (and registrations of participants) directly
relevant to the main focus of the workshop will be accepted by the SOC.
