The Sixth Cambridge Workshop on Stars, Stellar Systems and the Sun

科学进步是一个多方面的过程，包括实验、观察、理论、出版、非正式讨论和正式会议。目前的提案寻求支持后一项活动，即将于1989年9月12-14日在西雅图华盛顿大学举行的“第六届剑桥冷恒星、恒星系统和太阳研讨会”。这次研讨会的重点将是“太阳-恒星连接”，这是一个相对较新的跨学科研究领域，它汇集了太阳物理领域和晚类型恒星的恒星大气。这些领域的特殊主题是恒星日冕、色球、风、耀斑、磁场、对流和非辐射加热过程。本次研讨会的主要重点将是恒星的质量损失和演化。美国和外国的研究人员以及研究生都将出席。这次研讨会延续了1980年在剑桥举办的关于冷星的研讨会，这一传统已经成为太阳恒星研究领域的焦点。

Scientific progress is a multifaceted process, involving experimentation, observation, theory, publishing, informal discussions, and formal meetings. The current proposal seeks support for the latter of these activities, namely for the "Sixth Cambridge Workshop on Cool Stars, Stellar Systems and the Sun," September 12-14, 1989, to be held at the University of Washington, Seattle. The focus of this workshop will be on the "solar-stellar connection," which is a relatively new, interdisciplinary research area that brings together the fields of solar physics and stellar atmospheres of late type stars. Particular topics of these fields are stellar coronae, chromospheres, winds, flares, magnetic fields, convection, and non-radiative heating processes. The main emphasis of the present workshop will be on stellar mass loss and evolution. U.S. and foreign researchers will be attending, as well as graduate students. This workshop continues a tradition that started with a workshop on cool stars in Cambridge in 1980 and that has become the focal point in the field of solar-stellar research.
