The 15th Annual International Astrophysics Conference will be held at the Westin Cape Coral Resort at Marina Village, Cape Coral, Florida, USA, from April 4 to April 8, 2015. (Welcome Reception and Evening Registration begins Sunday, April
3).
The conference website is now up and registration and abstract submission is available.
15th AIAC website:
https://www.icnsmeetings.com/conference/15thannual/index.html
Please mark your calendar and contact us regarding your interest in attending. E-mail inquiries about the meeting should be directed to Gary Zank at
https://www.icnsmeetings.com/conference/15thannual/contact.html.
The meeting is entitled, “The Science of Ed Stone: Celebrating his 80th Birthday”, and will follow the same format as before with 25-minute presentations punctuated by selected 40-minute invited talks that will explore various themes in
greater detail.
Ed Stone has made foundational contributions to our understanding of all facets of the physics of energetic particles in the solar wind and the interstellar medium. Much of our current understanding of the interaction of the solar wind
with the local interstellar medium is derived from the Voyager Interstellar Mission under Ed’s leadership. His remarkable career has spanned the space age, contributing not only to science but to the leadership of our community. The 15th Annual International
Astrophysics Conference will celebrate the science and scientific achievements of Ed Stone.
PLEASE DO NOT WAIT TO BOOK YOUR ROOM. Our turnout is larger than anticipated and unfortunately we have blocked only a very limited amount of rooms

*2) ASTRONUM-2016
Monterey, California, USA, 6-10 June, 2016
Maison de la Simulation (CEA/CNRS/UPS/UVSQ), France will organize ASTRONUM 2016 - the 11th International Conference on Numerical Modeling of Space Plasma Flows in Monterey, California, USA, on 6-10 June, 2016. The conference web site is
https://www.icnsmeetings.com/conference/astronum2016/index.html
The conference will cover the following topics:
(1) Advanced numerical methods for space, astrophysical and geophysical flows; (2) Large-scale fluid-based, kinetic, and hybrid simulations;
(3) Turbulence and cosmic ray transport; (4) Magnetohydrodynamics
(5) Software packages for modeling and analyzing plasma flows / Visualisation
with the application to
(1) Physics of the Sun-Heliosphere-Magnetosphere;
(2) Interstellar medium and star formation;
(3) Cosmology and galaxy formation;
(4) Dynamo effect;
(5) Stellar Physics.
The purpose of the conference is to bring together leading experts in applied mathematics, space physics, astrophysics, and geophysics to discuss the application of novel numerical algorithms and petascale parallelization strategies to
computationally challenging problems.
The conference will be structured around invited, 40-minute keynote and 25-minute regular talks, and a limited number of contributed talks, with the attempt to have no parallel sessions. The conference web site
icnsmeetings.com will provide the information about the conference venue, registration, and means of transportation. E-mail inquiries about the meeting should be directed to Nikolai.Pogorelov at
uah.edu and Edouard.Audit at
cea.fr.
