The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Haystack Observatory will host a three-day workshop titled “Radio Stars in the Era of New Observatories” from April 17-19, 2024. The workshop will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of new advances in solar and stellar astrophysics enabled by the current generation of radio, millimeter and submillimeter facilities, including the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, the Very Long Baseline Array, and the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope. In addition, an underlying theme will be strategizing on how to best exploit planned future facilities to advance solar and stellar science. The workshop will bring together observers and theorists to encourage discourse on how radio wavelength observations provide new and unique insights into stellar astrophysics and complement studies at other wavelengths. It will also seek participation by experts working outside of the radio domain, as well as in areas such as computation and technology development. The Radio Stars workshop will encourage the participation of students and early career researchers and provide the opportunity for interaction with established leaders in the field of stellar astrophysics in a supportive and inclusive environment. Invited speakers and other workshop participants will be recruited from underrepresented groups. Scientific highlights from the meeting will be shared with the general public through MIT Haystack’s social media platforms.The aims of the workshop are to: (1) enable the dissemination of cutting-edge research in stellar astrophysics, including results derived from NSF-sponsored facilities; (2) foster learning and creative innovation through interactions between theorists, observers, computing experts, and instrument builders; (3) provide opportunities to identify key outstanding questions in stellar astrophysics and develop strategies for use of radio wavelength observations as a tool for addressing them; (4) provide a forum to discuss laying the groundwork for stellar radio science with instruments of the future. The workshop will be summarized in a “Conference Highlights” publication and meeting presentations will be made available online through the conference web site. Sessions at the workshop will examine radio emission from both hot and cool stars during the pre-main sequence through post-main sequence evolutionary phases. Topics covered will include stellar radio emission processes, stellar magnetism, and the role of radio emission as a probe of stellar atmospheres, stellar evolution, and the interactions between stars and their environments.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

麻省理工学院干草堆天文台将于2024年4月17日至19日举办为期三天的研讨会，题为“新天文台时代的无线电明星”。研讨会将提供一个论坛，介绍和讨论由当前一代无线电、毫米和亚毫米设施实现的太阳和恒星天体物理学的新进展，包括卡尔·g·扬斯基甚大阵列、阿塔卡马大型毫米/亚毫米阵列、甚长基线阵列和罗伯特·c·伯德绿岸望远镜。此外，一个潜在的主题将是制定战略，如何最好地利用计划中的未来设施来推进太阳和恒星科学。该研讨会将汇集观察员和理论家，鼓励讨论无线电波长观测如何为恒星天体物理学提供新的和独特的见解，并补充其他波长的研究。它还将寻求无线电领域以外以及计算和技术开发等领域的专家的参与。无线电之星研讨会将鼓励学生和早期职业研究人员的参与，并在一个支持性和包容性的环境中提供与恒星天体物理学领域的知名领导人互动的机会。受邀的演讲者和其他讲习班参加者将从代表性不足的群体中征聘。会议的科学亮点将通过MIT Haystack的社交媒体平台与公众分享。研讨会的目的是：(1)传播恒星天体物理学的前沿研究，包括来自美国国家科学基金会资助的设施的结果；(2)通过理论家、观察者、计算专家和仪器制造商之间的互动，促进学习和创造性创新；(3)提供机会，确定恒星天体物理学中关键的悬而未决的问题，并制定利用无线电波长观测作为解决这些问题的工具的策略；(4)提供一个论坛，讨论如何用未来的仪器为恒星无线电科学奠定基础。讲习班将在一份“会议要点”出版物中进行总结，会议介绍将通过会议网站联机提供。研讨会将探讨从主序前到主序后演化阶段的热星和冷星的射电辐射。涵盖的主题将包括恒星射电发射过程，恒星磁性，以及射电发射作为恒星大气探测的作用，恒星演化，以及恒星与其环境之间的相互作用。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
