3rd SOLARNET Workshop

"Polarization in the Sun, the Solar System, and Beyond"

Granada, 25-28 May 2015 

The 3rd SOLARNET Workshop “Polarization in the Sun, the Solar System, and Beyond” will take place in Granada (Spain) between 25-28 May 2015, organized by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC). SOLARNET is an international project promoted by the European Association for Solar Telescopes and funded by the European Commission (see www.solarnet-east.eu).

The goal of this workshop is to present the latest advances in astronomical polarimetry and spectropolarimetry, with a focus on the sun, solar system bodies, stars, and exoplanets. We also aim at bringing together the different communities and fostering collaborations between them. In order to provide a detailed account of the latest developments in these areas - including instrumentation, measurement techniques, data analysis and interpretation - the following sessions have been scheduled:

  • Instrumentation (ground, space, laboratory)
  • Diagnostics and Interpretation
  • Solar Photosphere
  • Solar Chromosphere, Transition Region, and Corona
  • Polarization in the Solar System and Exoplanetary Systems
  • Stellar Magnetic Fields 

The workshop will be carried out right after the 3rd SOLARNET School on “Solar Magnetic Fields: Modeling and Measuring Techniques” (18-23 May 2015, Granada, Spain). See http://spg.iaa.es/School for more information.

Venue

Granada is a small university town in the south of Spain, with a lively cultural and social atmosphere. May is one of the best months to enjoy the city, home to the famous Alhambra, with warm temperatures both during the day and at night. Granada is well connected to Madrid by airplane and can also be easily reached by bus from Malaga international airport (travel time is one hour and a half). 

The workshop will be held at Hotel Andalucía Center
