Call for abstracts: AOGS2024 ST05 (Small-scale Transients in the Solar Atmosphere)

Dear Colleagues,

The abstract submission is now open until 4 Jan 2024 for the 21st annual meeting of the Asian Ocianean Geosciences Society, to be held from 23 to 28 June 2024 in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

We sincerely invite you to submit your abstracts to Session ST05: Small-scale Transients in the Solar Atmosphere. The information for this session is as follows:

Section(s): ST – Solar and Terrestrial Sciences (Primary)

Session Title: Small-scale Transients in the Solar Atmosphere

Session Description
A wide range of dynamic events and phenomena on small spatial and temporal scales exist in the solar atmosphere from the photosphere to the corona. These small-scale transients include but are not limited to linear and non-linear MHD waves, oscillations, granulations, (magnetic) bright points, spicules, jets nanoflares and microflares. There is a consensus that these localised events play key roles in storing, releasing and converting different forms of energy, leading to heating the solar atmosphere and accelerating the solar wind. This session will focus on the observations, modelling and numerical simulations of small-scale transients in the photosphere, chromosphere, transition region, and corona. We welcome contributions using data from current and future facilities as well as analytical and numerical models. Session goals include synthesizing observations across multiple wavelengths, validating models with observations, and elucidating the role of small-scale transients in the energization and dynamics of the solar atmosphere.

Conveners: Prof Jiajia Liu (University of Science and Technology of China, China), Dr Piyali Chatterjee (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, India), Prof Robertus Erdelyi (The University of Sheffield, United Kingdom), Prof Hui Tian (Peking University, China)

Final reminder for RAS Specialist Discussion Meeting: ‘Investigating the Dynamic Solar Atmosphere in the Age of Solar Orbiter’

Dear all,

Here is the final announcement regarding abstract submission 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 a specific focus on results obtained using its suite of remote sensing instruments. Due to the varied payload carried by this satellite, presentations are encouraged covering 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!

AOGS 2024- submit an abstract to ST17 session: ‘Observing and Simulating Plasma Dynamics in the Solar Atmosphere’

We would like to draw your attention to the ST17 session: ‘Observing and Simulating Plasma Dynamics in the Solar Atmosphere’ in the framework of the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) conference.

The 21th Annual Meeting of the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society, taking place from 23 to 28 June 2024 in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Further details regarding abstract submission, registration, accommodation and relevant deadlines can be found on the meeting website: https://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2024/public.asp?page=home.asp

Important!
Abstract submission deadline is 02 January 2024.

Conveners:
Dr Suzana de Souza e Almeida Silva (The University of Sheffield), Dr Nitin Yadav (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Thiruvananthapuram), Dr Chia-Hsien Lin (National Central University), Dr Luiz Augusto Camargo Aranha Schiavo (Northumbria University), Prof Viktor Fedun (The University of Sheffield)

Session Description
Solar atmosphere exhibits intricate plasma dynamics, showcasing a variety of phenomena associated with the excitation of different kinds of plasma flows (e.g. vortices, jets, shear), energy transport, and heating. These dynamic processes within the solar atmosphere are intimately connected to magnetic fields, which are inherently intertwined with the flow patterns in the photosphere and chromosphere. Consequently, developing realistic models for the solar atmosphere becomes imperative to accurately capture the intricate interplay between magnetic fields and plasma flows. This interplay can lead to the propulsion of plasma jets, the formation of vortex motions, the onset of instabilities, solar flares and the generation of turbulence, among other phenomena in Quiet Sun and Active regions. The new cutting-edge ground- and space- based observations (SST, BBSO, DKIST, Solar Orbiter, Parker Solar Probe, Aditya-L1) provide us with a wealth of data for validation of our current theoretical understanding of the behaviour of magnetic fields and flows in the photosphere and chromosphere, thereby significantly improving MHD models. In light of these developments, our proposed session invites contributions centred on analysing observational data and developing theoretical approaches, including high-performance computing (HPC) simulations and analytical methods. The proposed session aims to enhance our insights into the solar atmospheric dynamics across various scales and explore synergies between the fundamental facets of solar plasma physics. It will also provide a platform for engaging discussions among esteemed scientists, early-career researchers, and PhD students. The following research topics will be covered: photospheric magnetic fields; Coherent plasma structures (e.g., vortices, source / sink type motions and laminar flows; spicules, swirls, Ellerman bombs, magnetic bright points, pores and sunspot structures/flows); Energy transport between lower and upper solar atmosphere layers; Turbulent plasma processes.

With our Best Regards,
Suzana S. A. Silva, Nitin Yadav, Chia-Hsien Lin, Luiz A. C. A. Schiavo, Viktor Fedun… continue to the full article
