SOHO 13 `Waves, oscillations and small scale transient events in
the solar atmosphere: A joint view of SOHO and TRACE’
29 September – 3 October 2003
Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain
http://soho13.uib.es
Objectives of the Workshop
Observations obtained by SOHO and TRACE have provided with a wealth
of information about oscillations, waves and small scale dynamic events
in the solar atmosphere, fostering many theoretical developments. Owing
to this notable extensive and intensive development in observations and
theory, time is now ripe for a joint SOHO – TRACE meeting focused on
waves, oscillations and small scale transient events in the solar
atmosphere. The aim of the Workshop is to bring together solar observers
and theorists in order to jointly analyse all these excellent SOHO and
TRACE observations. We intend to take stock of where we stand and to
identify key opportunities and challenges for future developments in the
rapidly expanding field of coronal seismology. Particular attention will
be given to the connections between waves, oscillations and small-scale
dynamical events: Is there a common root of their generation? Do the
waves and small scale phenomena, like explosive events, blinkers, active
region brightenings, nano- and micro-flares interact? Up to what extent
do they contribute to the large scale dynamics and heating of the solar
atmosphere?
Format of the Workshop
The Workshop will start with an Opening Lecture. There will be
Invited Talks of 30 minutes, Contributed Oral Presentations of
15 minutes and Posters. Sessions will have invited reviews both
on their observational and theory aspects. The talks and posters
are organized in topical sessions with no parallel sessions. A
Closing Review will conclude the meeting. There will be a
separate room for all posters to be presented throughout the
whole meeting.
The Scientific Sessions will start on Monday 29 September 2003
at 09h00 and end on Friday 3 October 13h00.
Scientific Programme
The invited talks and oral contributions of the Meeting will be
distributed in such a way to obtain a healthy balance between
observational and theoretical aspects. Poster sessions will give
plenty of opportunities to complement the invited reviews and
contributed talks. The titles of the scientific sessions are
listed below.
Opening Lecture by Bernie Roberts (St. Andrews, UK)
Session 1 MHD waves and oscillations in photospheric structures
Session 2 Waves in the chromosphere
Session 3 Topological changes and magnetic coupling
Session 4 Waves and oscillations in prominences
Session 6 Transition region dynamics: transients, jets
Session 7 Wave acceleration in open magnetic regions
Session 8 Coronal seismology
Closing Review
Call for Papers
You are invited to submit contributions in the whole area covered by
the Scientific Programme of the meeting. The abstracts of all papers
must be submitted through the Abstract submission link which will be
available at http://soho13.uib.es where, following the instructions,
you can upload your abstract in Latex style. For each abstract you
should indicate one particular session for which the paper will be
considered by the SOC and your preferences for oral or poster
presentation.
Publication of Proceedings
We intend to publish the contributions in the series of ESA SP
proceedings.
Only posters with at least one author present at the meeting will be
considered for display and publication. Only contributions strictly
relevant to the program of the workshop will be accepted.
