Gordon Research Conference on Space Plasma Physics

这项建议是为了部分支持将于1992年7月13日至17日在NH的普利茅斯举行的关于太阳系等离子体活动现象的戈登研究会议。所申请的资金，包括戈登研究会议提供的12 000美元和美国航天局提供的6 000美元，将用于支持受邀演讲者、讨论领袖以及需要财政援助才能参加会议的学生和其他人的生活费和/或旅费。自1977年以来，两年一度的戈登空间等离子体物理会议提供了一个理想的非正式环境来讨论“热门”话题。今年的主题是活动现象，这是一个至关重要的话题，因为大多数太阳系等离子体都不处于平衡状态，因此含有可以迅速释放的自由能量。在某些区域，可能会发生爆炸能量；例如太阳耀斑、日冕物质抛射、彗尾破裂和磁层亚暴。

This proposal is for partial support of a Gordon Research Conference on Active Phenomena in Solar System Plasmas to be held July 13-17, 1992 in Plymouth, NH. The requested funds, including also $12,000 from the Gordon Research Conferences and $6000 from NASA, will be utilized to support subsistence and/or travel for invited speakers, discussion leaders, and students and others who require financial assistance in order to attend the Conference. The biennial Gordon Conference in Space Plasma Physics has provided an ideal informal setting since 1977 to address "hot" topics. This year's theme, active phenomena, is a crucial topic because most solar system plasmas are not in equilibrium and thus contain free energy which can be released rapidly. In certain regions, explosive energy can occur; examples include solar flares, coronal mass ejections, cometary tail disruptions, and magnetospheric substorms.
