We are organising an RAS specialist discussion meeting entitled ‘Coronal condensations: formation, evolution, and energy transport’ will be held on the 10th November 2023 at Burlington House, Royal Astronomical Society, London.

The meeting will bring together theorists and observers to discuss the latest understanding of coronal condensation, and the open questions. Full details are available on the webpage: https://ras.ac.uk/events-and-meetings/ras-meetings/coronal-condensations-formation-evolution-and-energy-transport

Abstract submission has been extended until the 6th October. Please email your title and abstract to “b.snow (at) exeter.ac.uk” with the subject line ‘Coronal Condensations Abstract’.

We look forward to seeing you there!

1st Announcement for RAS Specialist Discussion Meeting entitled: ‘Investigating the dynamic solar atmosphere in the age of Solar Orbiter’.

We are delighted to announce that abstract submission is now open for the RAS Specialist Discussion Meeting entitled: ‘Investigating the dynamic solar atmosphere in the age of Solar Orbiter’.

This in-person meeting will take place on 9th February 2024 at Burlington House, London.

The goal of this Specialist Discussion Meeting is to highlight novel results obtained via analysis of data from Solar Orbiter, with specific focus on results obtained using its suite of remote sensing instruments. Due to the varied payload carried by this satellite, presentations are expected to cover a range of complementary topics such as coronal dynamics, the driving mechanisms of the solar wind, and the Sun-Earth connection. Discussion time will also be protected to explore how Solar Orbiter can help to link these topics.

Abstracts can be submitted until 8th December 2023 via the following link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe_4ho6OvhAyQzec8qenCT14_VNhrMwRoAaeNzs_kaLvDOTiw/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&flr=0

We look forward to seeing you in London!

SESSION: TESS 2024 Session “The Structure and Evolution of Coronal Mass Ejections in the Heliosphere” – Dallas TX, 7 — 12 April 2024

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to our session “The Structure and Evolution of Coronal Mass Ejections in the Heliosphere” at the Triennial Earth-Sun Summit (TESS) meeting, taking place in Dallas, TX, between 7th – 12th April 2024.

Our session aims to present the significant progress in understanding the individual and complex nature of CMEs as they evolve and interact with the interplanetary medium, through the use of multi-point observations. We therefore invite contributions that take advantage of the wealth of observational data currently available, through multi-spacecraft studies or modeling efforts, as well as mission concepts and studies highlighting the observational and knowledge gaps that still need addressing.

The location of TESS2024 provides a fantastic opportunity to view the upcoming solar eclipse along the path of totality. For accommodation, AGU are currently setting up an additional hotel block, information for which will be posted at https://www.agu.org/tess2024/ when available.

Further details about our session can be found at: https://agu.confex.com/agu/TESS24/prelim.cgi/Session/196453. The abstract submission deadline is Wednesday, 11 October 2023, 23:59 EDT/03:59 +1 GMT.

We look forward to your submissions,

– Emma Davies (Austrian Space Weather Office, GeoSphere Austria)
– Ravindra Desai (University of Warwick)
– Erika Palmerio (Predictive Science Inc.)
– Andreas Weiss (Heliophysics Science Division, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center)… continue to the full article

“Heliophysics in Europe” Workshop – deadline 15th Sept 2023

“Heliophysics in Europe” Workshop

(30 October – 3 November 2023, ESA ESTEC – Noordwijk, Netherlands)
https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/esa-heliophysics/heliophysics-in-europe-2023

Registration and abstract deadline is 15th September 2023. Registration is free and a hybrid option is available.

Heliophysics (including space weather) encompasses space plasma physics throughout the solar system, from Sun to the solar wind, planets (including the Earth) and small bodies.
Heliophysics has a large and active international community, with significant expertise and heritage in the European Space Agency and Europe.
The ESA Heliophysics Working Group acts as a focus for discussion, inside ESA, of the scientific interests of the Heliophysics community, including the European ground-based community and data archiving activities.
The ESA Heliophysics Working Group has organised the meeting ‘Heliophysics in Europe’ to improve communication between the European Heliophysics community and the various ESA directorates involved. The meeting will highlight opportunities existing in those directorates, but also look to identify synergies spanning directorates and possible future coordination efforts.
Areas of mutual interest already identified include archiving, data formats and discoverability, as well as improved connection to the modelling and ground-based community.

The focus will not be on specific missions, or regions or bodies in the solar system, but in terms of Heliophysics phenomena and processes that cut across ESA. This will allow better connection of all parts of the Heliophysics community (as described above) to all relevant parts of ESA and vice versa.

The meeting will be split into the following sessions, each with dedicated discussion sections and posters.
Session 1: ESA Heliophysics activities
Session 2: Building Bridges in Heliophysics: open questions, missing observations, measurements, models, and investigative techniques
Session 3: Building a European Heliophysics network and community hub
Session 4: Workshop Reporting, Summary, SWOT discussion and next steps

The meeting will run from lunchtime on Monday 30 October to lunchtime on Friday 3 November 2023.
