Workshop on Current Theoretical Models and Future High Resolution Solar Observations: Preparing for ATST; Sacramento Peak, NM; September 17-21, 2001

研究人员将组织一次讲习班，审查太阳大气中几个重要过程的理论和数值模拟以及高分辨率观测的现状，并为未来的观测提出建议。讲习班将侧重于小规模过程的物理学，包括在日冕物质抛射开始之前和期间发生的过程，这对于理解日冕物质抛射现象和空间天气至关重要。在过去的几年里，小规模太阳过程的数值模拟和理论取得了令人振奋的发展。然而，仅靠这些数值模拟和理论不能解决许多太阳现象令人费解的方面--高分辨率观测至关重要。另一方面，观察者需要来自理论家和模型师的“线索”，告诉他们应该尝试观察什么。这次研讨会将促进理论家和模型师与观察者之间的讨论，并将有助于完善对先进技术太阳望远镜(ATST)的要求。萨克拉门托高峰夏季研讨会是由国家太阳天文台主办的专题会议，传统上是将一群国际观察员和理论家聚集在一起，进行通常通过大型会议形式无法实现的富有成效的互动。天文台位于林肯国家森林的亲密环境，再加上靠近望远镜和观测硬件，为这些活动提供了独特的环境。旅行补助金将在竞争和需要的基础上发放。

The investigators will organize a workshop to review the current state of theoretical and numerical modeling and high resolution observations of several important processes in the solar atmosphere, and to develop recommendations for future observations. The workshop will focus on physics of small-scale processes including those that take place before and during initiation of the coronal mass ejections, which are crucial for understanding CME phenomena and space weather. The last few years have seen exciting development of numerical simulations and theory of small-scale solar processes. However, these numerical simulations and theory alone cannot solve the puzzling aspects of many solar phenomena - high-resolution observations are crucial. On the other hand, observers need "clues" from theorists and modelers on what they shall try to observe. This workshop will foster a discussion between theorists and modelers on one side and observers on the other and will help to refine the requirements for the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST). Sacramento Peak Summer Workshops are topical meetings sponsored by the National Solar Observatory and have a tradition of bringing together an international group of observers and theoreticians for productive interactions that are not normally available through the format of larger meetings. The intimate setting of the observatory in the Lincoln National Forest, combined with the proximity to telescopes and observing hardware provides a unique environment for these events. Travel grants will be made on a competitive and need basis.
