Dynamic Sun: I. MHD Waves and Confined Transients in the Magnetised Atmosphere

SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT

Venue : Varanasi, India

Duration : Monday 22 – Friday 26 February 2016

The new series of conferences “Dynamic Sun”, and in particular the first one: “Dynamic Sun: MHD Waves and Confined Transients in the Magnetised Atmosphere” is organized by Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi, India in collaboration with The University of Sheffield, UK.

The main aim of this meeting is to discuss cutting edge developments in observations, instrumentation, numerical and analytical modelling of plasma wave processes in the solar atmosphere and corona. This meeting will be also useful for future scientific data interpretation from current (SOHO, Hinode, STEREO, IRIS, SST, ROSA) and forthcoming groundbreaking high-resolution instruments, e.g., the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST, USA), European Solar Telescope (EST, lead by Spain) and new Indian facilities (MAST, upcoming 2m-NLST, Aditya-I).

We warmly welcome the participation of internationally recognized experts in the field of solar physics, early career researchers and PhD students. We anticipate that the proposed conference series will help to establish a long-term relationships between research groups.
