Solar Polarization Workshop 6: A New Era for Solar Polarimetry; Maui, Hawaii; May 31 - June 4, 2010

首席研究员将组织一个社区研讨会，评估和讨论最新的科学技术，以获得偏振测量并使用它们来研究太阳和其他恒星。为了提高我们对动态恒星及其大气的科学理解，需要复杂的磁场观测，而这种测量反过来又依赖于先进的极化技术。“太阳极化研讨会6”将继续长期以来的一系列国际研讨会，汇集专家讨论理论天体物理学，大气建模和敏感仪器技术的发展主题如何有助于促进我们对太阳极化和恒星磁场的基本物理理解。这次会议将在未来先进技术太阳望远镜（ATST）的最终地点附近召开，因此将有助于集中社区规划如何优化这一新仪器，以推进我们对太阳大气的理解及其在其他恒星上的应用。代表下一代太阳物理学家的学生和年轻研究人员将被支持参加。

The Principal Investigator will organize a community workshop to assess and discuss state-of-the-art science and technology for obtaining polarization measurements and using them to study the Sun and other stars. Sophisticated magnetic field observations are required to improve our scientific understanding of dynamic stars and their atmospheres, and such measurements, in turn, depend upon advanced polarimetric techniques. "Solar Polarization Workshop 6" will continue a long-standing series of international workshops that bring together experts to discuss how developing topics in theoretical astrophysics, atmospheric modeling, and sensitive instrument technology can help promote our fundamental physical understanding of solar polarization and stellar magnetic fields. This meeting will be convened near the eventual site of the future Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) and will thus help focus community planning on how to optimize this new instrument to advance our understanding of the solar atmosphere and its application to other stars. Students and young researchers who represent the next generation of solar physicists will be supported to attend.
