1. WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT
-----------------------------------
> From Pascal Saint-Hilaire <shilaire at berkeley.edu>

Save the Date: "FASR2021 workshop: Solar Physics with a Next
 Generation Solar Radio Facility", Dec 1-3, 2021 (virtual).

The need for a high-performance solar radio telescope in the United
States has been recognized for many years. The FASR concept represents
such a telescope, one that provides high-resolution imaging over a
broad range of frequencies, sufficient to probe the solar atmosphere
from the mid-chromosphere to the mid-corona, with high time and
spectral resolution. EOVSA implemented many FASR design elements and,
as such, has served as a valuable pathfinder instrument, spectacularly
validating both the fundamental concept of time-resolved broadband
imaging spectroscopy and the science it enables. In the meantime,
science and technology have advanced and the need for full
implementation of the FASR concept has only grown more important.

In anticipation of upcoming funding opportunities, this workshop is
being convened from 2021 Dec 1-3 to highlight progress in solar
physics over the past decade, and to take stock of the unique
contributions enabled by the current suite of new radio instruments,
to refine the science goals and requirements of a next-generation
solar radio facility. The workshop will provide a forum to discuss
relevant new and emerging technologies that will enable this new
science. We invite colleagues with an interest in solar physics and
radio technology, and from other fields that would stand to benefit,
to help explore the frontiers of science and technology that will
guide updates and refinements to the FASR concept.

The workshop will be virtual, hosted from the University of California
Berkeley's Space Sciences Laboratory (LOC: Pascal Saint-Hilaire, Milo
Buitrago-Casas, Jim McTiernan, Gelu Nita). The Scientific and
Technical Organizing Committee is composed of Marin Anderson (JPL),
Tim Bastian (NRAO), Bin Chen (NJIT), James Drake (UMD), Dale Gary
(NJIT), Lindsay Glesener (UMN), Gregg Hallinan (Caltech), Jonathon
Kocz (UCB), Haosheng Lin (U. Hawaii), Sophie Musset (ESA), Dan
Werthimer (UCB). The website and registration will be enabled and
announced around October 1st.
