Solar Journal Club -- PHYS 500-13

Coordinator: Dana Longcope dana@physics.montana.edu

Time: Wed 12:00

Place: Dayton Conference Room (EPS 258) 


In this seminar, graduate student and faculty participants will review recent journal articles and preprints in order to familiarize themselves with the "state of the art" of the major theoretical and observational research topics of the discipline and the MSU research program. The default weekly meeting will consist of a one-hour critical discussion of a journal article, copies of which will have been distributed to, and read by, all participants during the previous week. Each discussion will be informally led by a student or faculty member. Participants will be expected to actively contribute to all discussions, and to lead an occasional one on a rotating basis.

When appropriate, these discussions will be replaced by an informal presentation of personal research results by MSU students, faculty, or scientific visitors. 


Most weeks we will discuss an article from the current literature, chosen from the list of Suggested titles
