1st LATIN AMERICAN
FMT Workshop


Astrophysics with FMT

22 - 26 November 2010, Ica, Peru

 

FMT Workshop
22 - 26 November 2010, Ica, Peru

Organised by Geophysical Institute of Peru, National University "San Luis Gonzaga" of Ica, Kwasan and Hida Observatories of Kyoto University and National Astronomical Observatory of Japan

 

The Ica Solar Station is a new national facility which will observe the Sun with the first Flare Monitoring Telescope (FMT) installed outside Japan as part of CHAIN project. The science target of the FMT is to monitor solar flares and erupting filaments continuously all over the solar disk and to investigate the correlation between the characteristics of the erupting phenomena and the geoeffectiveness of the corresponding CMEs.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together the prospective user community of FMT to explore current and future science perspectives of solar observations. Furthermore, this workshop will also give an introduction to HINODE data reduction and analysis and talks related to solar physics.

The official language of the workshop will be English.

First Announcement
T he Ica Solar Station is a new national facility which will observe the
Sun with the first Flare Monitoring Telescope (FMT) installed outside
Japan as part of CHAIN project. The science target of the FMT is to
monitor solar flares and erupting filaments continuously all over the
solar disk and to investigate the correlation between the characteristics
of the erupting phenomena and the geoeffectiveness of the corresponding
CMEs.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together the prospective user
community of FMT to explore current and future science perspectives of
solar observations. Furthermore, this workshop will also give an
introduction to HINODE data reduction and analysis and talks related to
solar physics.

The First Latin American FMT (Flare Monitoring Telescope) Workshop will
take place at Ica, Peru on November 22 - 26, 2010.
The workshop will include labs for students, conference talks, and an
option for a day excursion.

The scientific program of the workshop will include the following topics:

* Astrophysics with FMT
* FMT data reduction
* HINODE data reduction

Financial Support
We expect to have some funding available to provide financial support
especially for Young scientists. Participants who wish to request
financial support should state that in the registration form. The
Participants will be notified as soon as possible.

Deadlines
For abstract submission: August 22, 2010
For financial support: August 30, 2010
