Travel Support for the "50 Years of the Seismology of the Sun and Stars" Workshop; Sunspot, New Mexico; May 6-10, 2013

该奖项支持科学组织委员会于2013年5月6日至5月10日在新墨西哥州太阳黑子的国家太阳天文台（NSO）召开研讨会。 这次研讨会的主题是“太阳和恒星地震学50年”，2013年是5分钟太阳振荡发现50周年，是日震学的一个重要里程碑。这次国家统计局研讨会将汇集太阳和恒星地震学家、理论家、在完成50年的日震调查之际，教科文组织与观察员举行了一次会议，以讨论最近的科学进展和未来的研究计划。 研讨会的结构将包括关于各种关键主题的邀请演讲，然后是贡献演讲，讨论和海报。组织者计划在六个月内出版讲习班的记录。 这些会议记录将代表过去50年来日震学科学成果的历史概述。 本文件的目的是帮助年轻的新研究人员了解该领域的历史发展，并帮助规划未来的仪器和未来观测的理论解释。 根据国家统计局过去举办这类讲习班的经验，组织者预计将有大量研究生、妇女和代表人数不足的少数群体参加，所有这些人都将被招募参加。委员会成员计划将这次活动限制在60到70人左右，他们打算利用这个NSF奖项为10- 14名与会者代表受邀演讲者，年轻研究人员和代表不足的研究人员。

This award supports the Scientific Organizing Committee convening a workshop at the National Solar Observatory (NSO) in Sunspot, NM, from May 6 to May 10, 2013. The workshop is entitled, "50 Years of the Seismology of the Sun and Stars," and it is important to note that the year 2013 is an important milestone in helioseismology, being the 50th anniversary year of the discovery of the 5-minute solar oscillation.This NSO workshop will bring together solar and stellar seismologists, theorists, and observers on the occasion of completing 50 years of helioseismic investigations, in order to discuss recent scientific advances and plan for future research. The workshop will be structured to include invited talks on various key topics, to be followed by contributed talks, discussions, and posters. The Organizers plan to publish proceedings of the workshop within a time frame of six months. These proceedings will represent an historical overview of the scientific results in helioseismology over the last 50 years. This document's purpose is to help young new researchers understand the historical development of the field, as well as to aid in planning future instrumentation and the theoretical interpretation of future observations. Based on NSO's past experience with this kind of workshop, the Organizers expect the participation of a large number of graduate students, women, and underrepresented minorities, all of whom will be recruited to attend.The committee members are planning for this event to be limited to about 60 to 70 attendees and they intend use this NSF award to provide partial travel support for 10-14 participants representing the categories of invited speakers, young researchers, and under-represented researchers.
