Modern data-analysis in solar physics: Progress in the automated analysis of solar features and their dynamics
An RAS Specialist Discussion Meeting, 8th January 2016
Royal Astronomical Society, Burlington House, London, UK
In recent years a number of satellites and telescopes have become operational that provide near continuous, high-resolution and high-cadence observations of the Sun. This has resulted in a wealth of data that cannot be analysed by hand alone. To make full use of the information it is essential that automated techniques are developed to aid identification and tracking of the various phenomenon of interest. This meeting will bring together those interested in the use and development of automated routines for astrophysical data analysis, with focus on the analysis of dynamics in solar atmospheric datasets. It will enable a discussion on currently available techniques and routines and those under development. Additionally the meeting aims to highlight the future directions required to aid the analysis of large data sets.

and register for the meeting. The meeting is free for RAS Fellows and there is a small charge on the door for non-members.
Abstract submissions for both oral and poster contributions are also welcomed. The closing date is December 5th 2015.
We are pleased to announce that as part of our meeting, we will be joining the Royal Astronomical Society in celebrating the 100th anniversary of the first women RAS Fellows. Prof. Lidia van Driel-Gesztelyi (University College London) will give a talk highlighting the contribution of women to solar physics. It is likely this talk will be closing the day and we welcome people to attend who could not make it to the earlier discussions.
Best wishes,
Richard Morton (Northumbria) & Erwin Verwichte (Warwick)
