- Published on Tuesday, 14 October 2014 08:53
The second SOLARNET meeting on Solar Physics will take place in Palermo, at the Grand Hotel Piazza Borsa, from 2nd to 5th February 2015. This is the second meeting in the framework of the EU-FP7 funded project SOLARNET (Capacities Program, Grant Agreement number 312495).
The meeting has the purpose to put in contact different solar physics communities and researchers involved in different fields and to foster collaborations between ground and space solar projects, in order to
- provide a forum to discuss the use of current and future observational solar facilities, and how to optimise their scientific returns;
- identify the potentially paradigm-shifting observations that will become possible with the next generation ground - and space-based solar telescopes and their advanced instrumentation;
- create synergies between research programs at different wavelength bands.
Specific aims of this meeting are to review the current understanding of magnetic fields in the Sun and similar stars and to discuss future directions of research.
The scientific program includes the following topics:
1) Global properties of the solar magnetic field;
2) Solar dynamo and its applications to other stars;
3) Solar differential rotation and meridional flow, stellar rotation;
4) Solar and stellar magnetic fields;
5) Activity and stellar properties;
6) Stellar activity derived from high accuracy photometry;
7) Sources of spectral and total solar irradiance variations.
and two splinter sessions:
S1) Effect of magnetic activity and internal rotation on solar and stellar pulsations
S2) Synergies between solar and stellar research

SOLARNET Project prioritizes the collaborations between the new generation of scientists and experienced researchers through short stays and training actions to acquire competences in relevant fields of Solar Physics.
12 students from Europe, Russia and India are participating in the 2nd School "Ground- and space-based instruments” organized by the SOLARNET colleagues from Slovakia. students are are intensively taught by experienced lecturers in Solar Physic:
Dr. F. Zuccarello (INAF, Italy) introduced the SOLARNET project and the design of the 4m class European Solar Telescope (EST); Dr. Th. Rimmele (NSO, USA) described the current stage of construction of the biggest ground based facility for Solar Physics, the DKIST 4m telescope; Dr. M. Löfdah (RSAS, Sweden) trained the students how to use and reduct the data from 1m Swedish Solar Telescope; Dr. D. Williams (UCL-MSSL, UK) gave lectures concerning the space instruments and data handling; Dr. T. Pereira (UiO, Norway) described IRIS instrument and has gone with the students through the whole process of how to download and how to deal with IRIS data; and Drs. A. Kucera, J. Koza and M. Kozak (all three from AISAS, Slovakia) gave lectures on complementary skills and conducted hand on sessions.
Practical part (exercises) of the School is also important for students to try really work with databases, real data and sophisticated software commonly used in Solar Physics. Second part of the School will be a participation at the Workshop "Methods in high resolution and synoptic Solar Physics”, and at the 2nd SPRING* Meeting, October 12-16, 2014, also in Tatranska Lomnica, Slovakia.
