Registration and abstract submission starts on Jan 15, 2016 at www.isf.astro.su.se/iris-6/

Important dates:
16 January: Registration opens.
15 March: Last day for abstract submission and application for travel support
15 May: Last day for registrations.
20 May: Final day for reservations/cancellations of block-booked hotel rooms.

Session Title:
Multiwavelength and In-situ Observations Of CME and Flare Evolution and Dynamics

Session Description:
Flares and CMEs are two spectacular manifestations of the explosive release of magnetic energy in the solar atmosphere. The released magnetic energy is transformed into kinetic and thermal energy and radiations. The focus of this session is to discuss how multi-wavelength observations and in situ measurements from current (IRIS, SDO, RHESSI, Hinode, NoRH, NRH, OVSA, STEREO, Wind, ACE) and future (Solar Orbiter, Solar Probe Plus) instruments and theoretical modeling can help our understanding of the mechanics, dynamics and evolution of these phenomena in the corona and interplanetary space.… continue to the full article

Session Title:
New Insights Into The Physics Of White-light Flares

Session Description:
The white-light continuum of a solar flare was the first manifestation of a flare ever detected, and this continuum emission contains a large fraction of the total luminous energy of a flare. Thus its identification has always posed an important problem for solar and stellar physics. A zoo of phenomena accompanies these events and their analysis can provide a wealth of information about the solar atmosphere. The focus of the discussion is the manifestation in the visible continuum of flares, from the corona to the solar interior and how multi wavelength observations (RHESSI, IRIS, SDO, Hinode, infrared, NoRH, OVSA) can help our understanding of the mechanics of momentum and energy transfer in the solar atmosphere.… continue to the full article

Dear Colleagues.

We would like to invite you to submit a contributed abstract for our exciting upcoming AOGS 2016 session in Beijing, China, 31 July 2016 to 05 August 2016 – ST19: “Radio Heliophysics and Space Weather”.

The full session description is given below and the Conference WebPages can be found here: http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2016/

The full abstract-submission details are given here: http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2016/public.asp?page=abstract.htm ; but please note that the AOGS Conference Fee only covers two abstracts – any more would require additional fees. The abstract-submission deadline is 19 February 2016.

Please submit early so as not to have any last-minute submission problems…

ST19: “Radio Heliophysics and Space Weather”

Various industries and aspects of human society have become highly reliant on modern technologies and regular, uninterrupted energy supplies, many of which are at risk from extreme space weather. Such industries and our technologies can also be impacted to a lesser degree by the ‘everyday’ space weather that often occurs at the Earth during moderate-to-intense geomagnetic storms. Such industries include the power grids, airlines, telecommunications, GNSS, etc…

Radio heliophysics in all aspects of space weather is being enhanced in no small part by the use of new-generation radio-telescope arrays such as the Long-Wavelength Array (LWA) in the USA, the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) in western Australia, and the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) in northern and western Europe. In addition, various new techniques and model developments are, and have, enabled the use of radio systems to greater effect for space-weather purposes. For example: solar radio bursts can now be studied in far-greater detail; interplanetary scintillation (IPS) observations (via tomographic reconstructions) are being used to drive 3-D MHD models; tests of heliospheric Faraday rotation are being undertaken in the hope of being able to measure and predict Bz through the inner heliosphere; and new methods and advances are being made in ionospheric riometry and scintillation studies such as being able to obtain estimates of the height of the scattering screen in the ionosphere.

This session solicits contributions based around the ongoing development of space-weather forecasting services using radio techniques, new scientific methodologies that could be employed for space-weather purposes, novel results which could not be obtained before the advent of such radio systems, and plans for new observations (such as on the Square Kilometre Array – SKA) and new designs or concepts for future radio instruments.

ST20: “Sun and Heliosphere General Session Including Solar Diagnostic Techniques and Variabilty, and Helioseismology”

This is the general session of talks within the ST Section covering topics on the Sun and/or Heliosphere that are not suited to any of the other sessions available. In addition, talks based on or around solar diagnostic techniques, the related atomic physics and spectroscopy, space climate, solar variability, or Helioseismology are also welcomed into this session including abstracts related to all aspects of solar irradiance as well as studies on climate change (local and/or global) that can be attributed to, at least in part, solar variability. The Sun varies in brightness over differing time scales. There is evidence that some climate change on Earth can be attributed to solar variability. Variations in solar radiation output beyond that of the solar cycle are typically not well known.
