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研讨会，回顾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。研讨会将集中讨论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物理过程，这对理解日冕物质抛射现象和空间天气至关重要。近年来，小型太阳过程的数值模拟和理论有了令人兴奋的发展。然而，这些数值模拟和理论本身并不能解决许多令人困惑的太阳现象——高分辨率的观测是至关重要的。另一方面，观察者需要从理论家和建模者那里得到“线索”，告诉他们应该观察什么。这次研讨会将促进理论家和建模者与观测者之间的讨论，并将有助于完善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观测台主办的专题会议，有将国际观察员和理论家团体聚集在一起进行富有成效的互动的传统，这些互动通常无法通过大型会议的形式获得。林肯国家森林天文台的亲密环境，加上望远镜和观测硬件的接近，为这些活动提供了一个独特的环境。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.
