NAM Solar-Stellar-Exoplanetary Joint Session #104

We would like to draw the attention of Solar Physics researchers to NAM session #104 “Solar Physics, Stellar Physics, and Exoplanetary joint session: bridging the gap”. This is a multi-disciplinary session with high relevance to Solar Physics found under the conference grouping of “STELLAR AND PLANETARY”.

We encourage solar, stellar, and exoplanetary researchers to present their findings and their impacts or relevance to one or both of the other fields. The NAM organisers will look to schedule this session so it is not running in parallel with a solar-specialist session. Therefore, this is a great opportunity to broaden the impact of your research, make new connections, and hear the latest findings from experts in other fields with relevance to your work.

For a full description, please see session #104 of the NAM programme https://conference.astro.dur.ac.uk/event/7/program

We particularly encourage applications with relevance to issues such as:

– Spatially resolved or Sun-as-a-star observations and models giving insight into mechanisms responsible for signatures in unresolved observations of stars, for example longer-term variations, flares, and other activity, and feature locations on the stellar disk.
– Space weather observations and models with applications to understanding the environments and conditions around stars.
– The latest findings regarding solar-type stars, including physical modelling, and stellar populations and the insights these can provide regarding behaviours that may occur on our local star and surrounding planetary environments.
– Works related to the preparation and prospects for PLATO With the launch of PLATO in late 2026, this discussion is timely to highlight advances in the mission and galvanise the UK community to take full advantage of the data.

Best regards,
