The Sun: A Laboratory for Astrophysics to be held June 16-29, 1991 in Crieff, Scotland

美国天文学人口统计中的一个持续问题 社会上缺乏高素质的年轻太阳物理学家。 太阳天文学家的平均年龄是所有天文学家中最高的 天文学科，这个问题是加剧了 缺乏积极支持太阳能的美国学术机构 research. 主要研究者（PI）寻求缓解这一问题 北约高级研究所在为期两周的夏季 在苏格兰的路线 该课程将汇集专家， 太阳物理学的各个分支学科， 在他们的领域中技术和概念的重要进步。 课程的详细笔记将由天文学家撰写， 并将提供给学生和其他感兴趣的人 parties. 本课程约80%的费用将由 北约ASI。 然而，由于对 ASI课程学生的国际分布，PI是 要求国家科学基金会提供额外的旅行支持。 希望 这个夏季课程将缓解年轻太阳能电池的稀缺， 天文学家在美国，并将有助于突出人口 这个问题在这个学科已经存在了至少两个 几十年

A continuing problem in the demographics of the U.S. astronomical community is the scarcity of high-quality young solar physicists. The average age of solar astronomers is among the highest of any astronomical discipline, and this problem is aggravated by the dearth of U.S. academic institutions that actively support solar research. The Principal Investigator (PI) seeks to alleviate this problem through a two-week, NATO Advanced Study Institute summer course in Scotland. This course would bring together experts in various subdisciplines of solar physics to teach graduate students the important advances in techniques in concepts in their fields. Detailed notes from the course would be written by the astronomers, and would be made available to the students and other interested parties. Some 80% of the expenses for this course will be paid by the NATO ASI. However, owing to certain restrictions on the international distribution of students in ASI courses, the PI is requesting additional support for travel from the NSF. It is hoped that this summer course will alleviate the scarcity of young solar astronomers in the U.S. and will help highlight the demographic problem in this discipline that has existed for at least two decades.
