'The modern era of helio- and asteroseismology', Obergurgl, Austria
20 May 2012 - 20 May 2012
Austria
An event entitled 'The modern era of helio- and asteroseismology' will take place from 20 to 25 May 2012 in Obergurgl, Austria.
Helioseismology and asteroseismology are fields which investigate the interior of the Sun and stars. Understanding the physics of the Sun's interior is essential for comprehending the solar dynamo. This knowledge helps predict solar magnetic activity, which has a severe impact on the operation of space missions. The fields are also crucial for understanding the structure and evolution of stars.
Increasingly, technological developments and recent missions are helping increase the amount of data available for researchers in both helioseismology and asteroseismology. This will allow for the creation of creating new knowledge in solar physics and astrophysics.For further information, please visit: http://www.esf.org/index.php?id=9140(opens in new window)
