First Announcement:
“Tracing the Connections in Solar Eruptive Events”
November 30 – December 5, 2012
Sheraton Sonoma County Hotel
Petaluma, CA USA
On behalf of the Science and Local Organizing Committees, I invite you to
mark your calendars for a conference/workshop entitled “Tracing the
Connections in Solar Eruptive Events” to be held November 30 – December 5,
2012. The conference will be devoted to sharing analysis,
interpretations, and results based on recent observations from various
solar spacecraft, such as ACE, Fermi, Hinode, RHESSI, SDO, SOHO, and
STEREO. This is the third in a series of “California Wine Country”
conferences, and the format will be a mixture of plenary sessions and
cross-connected working groups following the highly successful model
established by earlier conferences in the series (Sonoma 2004:
http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/RHESSI/rst/old_welcome.html and Napa 2008:
see http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/RHESSI/napa2008/ ).
A fledgling website is online at:
http://hessi.ssl.berkeley.edu/petaluma/index.shtml.
The overarching objective of the conference is to examine the connections
amongst the phenomena that lead to solar eruptive events. The current
slate of themes includes:
- Measuring the Coronal Magnetic Field;
- Connections to, and Reactions of, the Large-Scale Corona;
- Large-scale Magnetic Connectivity of Active Regions;
- Transfer of Energy to, and Storage of Energy in, the Corona;
- The High-Energy Particle - Flare - CME connection.
Working groups will address topics such as:
- Energy Transfer throughout a Solar Eruptive Event;
- Global Energetics of an Ensemble of Events;
- Coronal Influences to the Lower Atmosphere;
- CME Initiation and Type II Bursts;
- The Release of Energetic Particles in the Low Corona;
- Flows vs. Waves;
- Microflares/Nanoflares;
We also intend to have a panel-led debate on the topic of “How much closer
are we to flare prediction?”
More details will be announced in due course. In the meantime, please
mark your calendars, and I look forward to seeing you in Northern
California wine country this time next year!

Dear Colleague,
since the release of CHIANTI Version 7.0, we realized that 4 files
were included in the database that should not have been there. As
a consequence, they caused several routines to crash both in the
stand-alone version and in the SolarSoft distribution.
We removed those files and now the software is working.
If you use CHIANTI through SolarSoft that is automatically mirrored,
the update will occur automatically within the next few days. For a faster
solution, you can manually fix your the SolarSoft directories by removing
the following files:
(chianti top directory)/h/h_1/h_1.reclvl
(chianti top directory)/he/he_1/he_1.reclvl
(chianti top directory)/cl/cl_16/cl_16.reclvl
(chianti top directory)/k/k_18/k_18.reclvl
If you use CHIANTI through the stand-alone tar file, we recommend that
you download and install the new tar file in your CHIANTI directories.
The new tar file can be found at our web site location:
http://www.chiantidatabase.org/
We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you.
Best regards,
The CHIANTI Team

Dear Colleague,
We would like to announce the release of version 7.0 of the CHIANTI
database for astrophysical spectroscopy. With Version 7.0, CHIANTI
now includes data for several new ions as well as significant updates to
many ions, including several key Fe species routinely observed by
Hinode/EIS and SDO. Also, a completely new implementation of the
CHIANTI software in the Python programming language has been
developed and is freely available on the web (ChiantiPy). IDL
software updates have been performed to ensure compatibility
with IDL 8.
If you use CHIANTI through SolarSoft that is automatically mirrored,
the update will occur automatically within the next few days. Otherwise,
you will need to manually update your the SolarSoft directories.
If you use CHIANTI through the stand-alone tar file, we recommend that
you download and install the new tar file in your CHIANTI directories.
The new tar file can be found at our new web site location:
http://www.chiantidatabase.org/ - note the new url!
The ChiantiPy software suite can be found at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/chiantipy/
If you have any questions, problems, suggestions regarding CHIANTI,
we are always glad to hear from you by sending email to
chianti_help(a)halcyon.nrl.navy.mil
Best regards,
The CHIANTI Team
