1. TRACING THE CONNECTIONS IN SOLAR ERUPTIVE EVENTS
---------------------------------------------------
> From Gordon Emslie <emslieg (at) wku.edu>
On behalf of the Science and Local Organizing Committees, I am
pleased to invite the solar physics/heliophysics community to a
conference/workshop entitled "Tracing the Connections in Solar
Eruptive Events" to be held at the Sheraton Sonoma County Hotel,
Petaluma, CA, from November 27 - December 2, 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 and Napa 2008). The meeting website can be found 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; and
- The High-Energy Particle - Flare - CME connection.
We have assembled a cast of outstanding invited speakers for these
sessions. 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; and
- Microflares/Nanoflares;
The "manifestos" for the working groups can be found at
http://hessi.ssl.berkeley.edu/petaluma/workinggroups.shtml
Additional working group topics may be created, depending on the
content of the abstracts that are submitted. We also intend to have a
"presidential-candidate" style debate on the topic of "How
much closer are we to flare prediction?â"
The registration site:
http://hessi.ssl.berkeley.edu/petaluma/registration.shtml
and abstract submission site
http://hessi.ssl.berkeley.edu/petaluma/abstracts.shtml
are now open. I invite you to register, submit your abstract, and make
your hotel reservations. Rooms booked through the link supplied on the
conference page will receive the conference rate.
https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/res?id=1112156251&key=6482F
A limited amount of funds has been identified for the purpose of
providing travel support for students and new postdocs. The closing
date for such applications is July 20, 2012. We invite interested
individuals to visit the site at
http://hessi.ssl.berkeley.edu/petaluma/travel_support.shtml
for more details.
I look forward to seeing you in Northern California wine country later
in the year!

Due to the severe storms Friday night, most of Goddard is offline. You won't be able to reach the RHESSI or any GSFC web site or data archive until power is restored.

1. NEW "GREAT FLARE WATCH" ANNOUNCEMENTS
----------------------------------------
The solar flare science derived from observation of >50
MeV gamma rays by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT)
can be enhanced significantly if the overall solar exposure
and duty cycle is increased. This can be done by a change
in the spacecraft pointing modes during times of high solar
activity. Through a "Great Flare Watch" announcement in the Max
Millennium Message of the Day (MOTD), the Max Millennium Chief
Observers aim to provide an appropriate alert. Goals and target
selection criteria are described in Max Millennium Coordinated
Observing Plan 018, "REGION LIKELY TO PRODUCE GREAT FLARES",
http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/op018/op018.html
A unique Solar Target of Opportunity operational plan, which will be
used in response to Great Flare Watch alerts, has been organized by
the Fermi team. Of course, an active region that produces great
flares will be of interest to other ground and space-based
instruments, as well. If your instrument can beneficially use this
alert of high probability of flares of GOES class >X5, please contact
canfield(a)physics.montana.edu about such practical matters as the UT
timing of the MOTD.
