1) NASA/Heliophysics Call for ROSES16 Panel Volunteers

The 2016 ROSES competition of Heliophysics programs encourages volunteers for review panels to sign up on the NASA Service and Advice for Research and Analysis (SARA) web site. Sign-up is now open for several of the Heliophysics solicitations (see list below), while others will follow in a later call. Please make sure you sign up before April 30, 2016.

Signing up does not commit you to serve, nor will NASA be obligated to invite you to serve on a review panel.  Instead, the availability of panel volunteers will aid the program officers to more efficiently fill panel vacancies, and it will enhance the quality of the peer review process with the identification of additional expertise. An additional goal is to shorten the time between proposal submission and selection/notification. The community benefits through broadening the peer review panel as well as broadening their own personal experience.
If you are an active researcher in the field of Heliophysics, Postdoc level and beyond, you are encouraged to sign up. We understand that your schedules fill up quickly, and therefore we ask you to identify which weeks of the review windows you would be available to serve. Typical review duration is 3-4 days.

The following programs currently solicit review panel volunteers for in-person (or virtual) reviews in the May/June, September through November and January time frame:
H-SR (ROSES16 Appendix B.2 Heliophysics Supporting Research)
H-TIDeS (ROSES16 Appendix B.3 Heliophysics Technology and Instrument Development for Science)
H-GI Open (ROSES16 Appendix B.4 Heliophysics Guest Investigators - Open Element)
H-GCR TMS (ROSES16 Appendix B.5 Heliophysics Grand Challenges Research - Theory/Modeling/ Simulations Element)
H-DEE (ROSES16 Appendix B.7 Heliophysics Data Environment Enhancements)

The following programs will solicit reviewer volunteers at a later date:
H-LWS (ROSES16 Appendix B.6 Heliophysics Living With a Star Science)
H-GI MMS (ROSES16 Appendix B.8 Heliophysics Guest Investigators - MMS)
H-GCT SC (ROSES16 Appendix B.9 Heliophysics Grand Challenges Research - Science Centers)
H-USPI (ROSES16 Appendix B.10 Heliophysics US Principal Investigators)

You will not be eligible to participate in panel reviews of those programs that you submit to as a PI, Co-I or Collaborator/Consultant. Therefore, you will be asked to self-select the program(s) you expect to be available and eligible for.

The sign-up process is simple, fast and confidential. You can sign up under the following URL:

http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/volunteer-review-panels/roses-2016-heliophysics-programs/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__science.nasa.gov_researchers_volunteer-2Dreview-2Dpanels_roses-2D2016-2Dheliophysics-2Dprograms_&d=BQMFaQ&c=l_IU86Q8JTGnHn9K9kRmRlrLmhfeE6S9tCyr6T8mzvM&r=PgkSJLafQIp13F7R6F5rsDZR_39nDoRvUiOh6vQNu2M&m=JeQZGz40Uf5Ur6Zl68cmX2JYhpXSavM05PsM3DXVh4k&s=ICIekGPwZ7KJ1-qYPF2gXIulksw1otYTOw2Kxf5oHbU&e=>

5) SHINE 2016 - Session: "Heliosphere as Revealed from IBEX and Voyager Measurements"

Session 13. Heliosphere as Revealed from IBEX and Voyager Measurements
Nikolai Pogorelov, Merav Opher, and George Gloeckler

Session Description:

In situ observations by Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, combined with the heliosheath tomography using energetic neutral hydrogen fluxes measured by the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) in different energy bands gives the space physics community a unique opportunity to investigate the fundamental physical processes accompanying the solar wind (SW) interaction with the local interstellar medium (LISM).  The proposed session will address microscopic and macroscopic phenomena derived from IBEX and Voyager observations, and especially their combination. It will particularly focus on the following scientific questions:

1. What is the effect of the coupling of the heliospheric and interstellar magnetic fields at the heliopause? What is the correlation between observations and model predictions for the magnetic field and plasma quantities? What do space-time variations in the magnetic structure tell us about the physics of the heliosphere and termination shock?
2. What are the physical mechanisms of the IBEX ribbon and distributed ENA fluxes?
3. What are the ion acceleration mechanisms in the inner heliosheath? How do anomalous cosmic rays affect the structure of the heliosphere? What are the reasons of the variation in the galactic and anomalous cosmic ray fluxes observed by Voyager 1?

Scene-setting presentations will be given by David McComas and John Richardson on behalf of the IBEX and Voyager mission teams, respectively, and followed by a discussion on the themes of the session.

6) MEETING: International Astronomical Union Symposium 328 "Living around Active Stars," 17-21 October, 2016, Maresias, SP, Brazil

From: Dibyendu Nandi (dnandi at iiserkol.ac.in)

First Announcement

Rationale: The variable activity of stars such as the Sun is mediated via stellar magnetic fields, radiative and energetic particle fluxes, stellar winds and magnetic storms. This activity influences planetary atmospheres, climate and habitability. Studies of this intimate relationship between the parent star, its astrosphere (i.e., the equivalent of the heliosphere) and the planets that it hosts have reached a certain level of maturity within our own Solar System - fuelled both by advances in theoretical modeling and a host of satellites that observe the Sun-Earth system. In conjunction, the first attempts are being made to characterize the interactions between stars and planets and their coupled evolution, which have relevance for habitability and the search for habitable planets. This Symposium will bring together scientists from diverse, interdisciplinary scientific areas such as solar, stellar and planetary physics, atmospheric and climate physics and astrobiology to review the current state of our understanding of solar and stellar environments.  The Symposium is expected to fertilize exchange of ideas and identify outstanding issues - tackling which necessitates coordinated scientific efforts across disciplines.

Invited Speakers: Anil Bhardwaj (India), Cesar Bertucci (Argentina), Paul Charbonneau (Canada), Manuel Guedel (Austria), Gaitee Hussain (Germany), Moira Jardine (UK), Colin Johnstone (Austria), Laurène Jouve (France),  Eiichiro Kokubo (Japan), Hiroyuki Maehara (Japan), Jose Dias do Nascimento Jr. (Brazil), Rachel Olsten (USA), Katja Poppenhaeger (UK), Steve Saar (USA), Alexander Shapiro (Germany)

Specifics: The symposium will be held in the sea side town of Maresias, Brazil from 17-21 October, 2016. Further details, including registration, abstract submission, financial support and accommodation information are available at the conference websites:

7) Project SMART Summer Institute - 2016
(Science and Mathematics Achievement Through Research Training)
A Fast-Paced Month of Science for High School Students

University of New Hampshire Project SMART Summer Institute is accepting applications from (current) high school sophomores and juniors for the 25th year of its program in 2016. The program has a rolling admission policy, accepting applicants on first-come first-admit basis, based on applicant's interest and aptitude in science and mathematics. The 2016 program runs from June 26 to July 22. The program offers three modules; Biotechnology & Nanotechnology, Marine & Environmental Science, and Space Science, each admitting up to 25 students.
Project SMART program challenges, educates, and motivates talented high school students in science and mathematics. The program is open to students who are currently enrolled (or home schooled) as sophomores (10th grade) and juniors (11th grade). The participants study advanced topics in science, mathematics and computers through lectures, discussions, hands-on laboratory experience, and field trips; and learn to do research with UNH faculty.
The Summer Institute is an excellent opportunity to learn the interdisciplinary nature of the various scientific fields and the applications and implications (economic, social, environmental, legal, ethical and moral) of recent scientific advancements to society. In addition to learning/doing science, the students gain a greater appreciation for careers in the various sciences and establish friendships with their peers, and mentoring relationships with the UNH faculty.
The group of student participants is highly talented and includes those who have already shown interest and aptitude in sciences.
The group is highly diverse, and includes a significant proportion of participants from minority, underrepresented, economically disadvantaged, and rural as well as inner-city environs within the US (from Alaska to Puerto Rico and in between) and several other countries (e.g. Greece, Turkey, Jordan, Kazakhstan).
Project SMART is a residential program. The students stay in UNH dormitories. Over the weekends they participate in special programs like: visits to the Boston Museum of Science, the New England Aquarium, a whale watching trip to the Ocean, the top of Mt. Washington by Cog railway, Long Term Experimental Forests, the local malls and the movies, etc., which also enhance social interaction among the students. What a way to get connected to your peers. Weekend stay for local students is optional.
On the final day of the program, students present a scientific poster at a three-hour long session, which is attended by more than 200 students, faculty, teachers, parents, UNH administrators and invited guests.
Special evening discussions focus on college admissions, diversity issues, and careers in science.
