Dear All.

I’d like to let you know that the abstract-submission deadline for AOGS in Singapore this year has been extended to 19 February 2019. Submission and meeting details can be found here: http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2019/ and the abstract submission is done through the MARS Login at the top-right-hand side of the screen.

I would also like to draw your attention to two sessions: ST28 – Radio Heliophysics from Sun to Mud: How Radio Techniques can be Used to Study the Chain of Activity from Solar Origin to its Effects at Earth and Other Solar-System Bodies and ST 27 – General Session in Solar and Terrestrial Sciences. The full session details are below.

Many thanks,

Mario (Space Weather Secretary and ST President Candidate)

ST28: This session brings together all things Radio Heliophysics in nature, crossing all the sub-disciplines within Heliophysics from Solar, Heliosphere, Magnetosphere, Ionosphere, Planetary, Space Weather, and Beyond. The session encourages submissions around all aspects and use of radio in the Heliophysics domain, including but not limited to observations, data analyses, results discussions, modelling, use in space-weather forecasting, planetary science outside of the Earth’s own space environment, technique developments/needs, and future/developing instrumentation. Any and all abstracts linking into or using radio Heliophysics will be welcome in this session to try to bring the wider community into a single joined-up session.

ST27: This session is intended to cover all general contributions from the Sun to the Earth and beyond throughout the heliosphere. Contributions from helioseismology, solar physics, heliospheric science, space weather, magnetospheric physics, ionospheric physics, sun-planetary interactions, cosmic rays, and all aspects of the heliosphere and outer heliosphere are welcomed – particularly if they do not fit any of the more-specialised ST Sessions.

We would like to encourage abstract submission for the NAM 2019 session on Active Region Laboratories.

Active regions are of fundamental importance in Solar Physics as they are the primary source of a multitude of solar activity that occur on a variety of spatial and temporal scales. In particular, the formation and eruption of magnetic flux ropes, the generation and propagation of MHD waves, solar flares and the acceleration of energetic particles. In this session we bring together state-of-the-art models and high-resolution observations of active regions and their associated phenomena in order to review recent advances in the field and discuss requirements for future missions with an outlook towards active regions on other stars and stellar flares.

The abstract submission is now open.

NAM will take place at Lancaster University on 30th June – 4th July 2019

Registration, abstract submission and grant applications are now open

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce IAU Symposium 355 on “The Realm of the Low Surface Brightness Universe”, which will be held from July 8 to 12, 2019, at the Guajara Campus of the University of La Laguna in the island of Tenerife, Spain.

With this first announcement we open the registration, the abstract submission, and the possibility to apply for IAU grants, all through the conference webpage at http://www.iac.es/congreso/iaus355/

———————
Rationale and Key Topics:

IAU Symposium 355 aims to survey the denizens of the low surface brightness skies, at all wavelengths and resolutions, to show the richness of physical processes taking place in this regime, which has not been fully explored yet. From the Zodiacal light in the Solar System all the way to the cosmological backgrounds, and from the contributions of amateurs to space-based instrumentation, this Symposium will provide participants with a broad glimpse of one of the few last niches that remain to be explored.

A wide range of topics will be addressed:

– State-of-the-art in present and future ground- and space-based instrumentation for LSB observations
– Data analysis and management of upcoming LSB surveys
– The nature of interplanetary/cometary dust grains and meteoritic streams in the Zodiacal light
– Dust grains in the interstellar medium as traced by cirri
– Mass loss episodes, shocks and debris discs as traced by LSB features around stars; orphan SN and GRBs
– Low surface brightness features around galaxies: signatures of past and on-going accretion and their constraints on dark haloes
– The nature of ultra-diffuse galaxies and other galaxies discovered by LSB surveys
– The intracluster light and its role in galaxy evolution in clusters
– The circumgalactic medium of low- and high-redshift galaxies
– The cosmic web of large-scale filaments
– The UV/optical/IR cosmological background radiation and its fluctuations
– The role of amateurs in LSB observations and citizen science LSB projects

We look forward to seeing you in Tenerife in July!

The online abstract submission system for the 2019 Royal Astronomical Society National Astronomy Meeting is now open at https://nam2019.org The deadline for abstract submissions is 15 March.

NAM 2019 will be held at Lancaster University between Sun 30 June – Thu 4 July. Further information and a full list of parallel sessions is available on the event website. Additional practical information will be added to the site prior to registration opening on Mon 25 February, but it is not necessary to register to submit an abstract.

Key dates to note:

11 Feb: Abstract submission opens
25 Feb: Registration opens
15 March: Abstract submission closes
Early May: Abstract acceptance notices and final timetable published
20 May: Registration deadline for presenters
14 June: General registration (e.g. for non-presenters) closes. There will be no on-site registration.

The LOC and SOC look forward to welcoming you to Lancaster in the summer!

Space Climate 7: Future of Solar Activity
8-11 July 2019, Orford, Canada:

The 7th Space Climate Symposium will be held on 8-11 July 2019 in Canton Orford, in Québec’s beautiful Eastern townships, about one hour drive from Montréal.

The scientific program includes the following sessions (and confirmed speakers so far):
Solar dynamo as a driver of space climate (S. Brun, M. Schüssler, J. Warnecke)
Long-term solar activity (H. Hayakawa, A. Muñoz-Jaramillo, A. Pevtsov, K. Tapping)
Solar photosphere and TSI/SSI (N. Krivova, T. Woods)
Solar cycle prediction (M. Dikpati, J. Jiang, D. Pesnell, K. Petrovay, L. Upton)

Solar wind-Magnetosphere-Ionosphere interaction (A. Chambodut, A. Pulkkinen, C. Rodger)
Solar Influence on atmosphere and climate (M. Mlynczak, M. Sinnhuber, B. Tinsley)

For registration, abstract submission, accommodation, airport shuttle and else, see the meeting web page:

IMPORTANT DATE: 28 February 2019

This is the early registration deadline. Fee will raise on 1 March 2019.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION:

28 February 2019 is also the submission deadline for abstracts to be considered for a contributed oral presentation. Abstracts for poster presentations can be submitted even later, as long as space for posters or conference premises are filled up.
NOTE: Conference capacity is limited to 120 participants so register and send your abstract as early as possible.

INVITATION LETTERS AND VISA:

Please let us know (spaceclimate7[at]astro.umontreal.ca) as early as possible if you need an invitation letter for visa application. Note also that meeting participants from countries not requiring an entry visa may still have to file in an Electronic Travel Authorization. See meeting web site for more details. Do not delay visa application, this can be a lengthy process depending on your nationality, country of residence, and/or dual-citizenship status.

ACCOMODATION:

Canton Orford is a small countryside village, with no public transportation and very limited taxi services. We highly recommend securing accommodation at the meeting venue, Hotel Estrimont Suites & SPA, taking advantage of the housing package offered.
Please book early, as the Hotel’s capacity is limited.
