3) Call for Abstracts for Session #9 at the 2016 SHINE Workshop


Session 9: Kinetic Range Physics in the Solar Wind: Turbulence and Waves
with Implications for the Turbulent Dissipation Challenge

Conveners: S. Peter Gary, Kris Klein, Tulasi Parashar, Chadi Salem, and
Daniel Verscharen

This session will focus on kinetic range physics of plasma turbulence in the
solar wind. The primary goal is to understand the nature of electromagnetic
fluctuations at scales smaller than the spectral break point. Some studies
have suggested that the turbulence at these scales is highly intermittent
and nonlinear while others indicate that linear theory may describe some
properties of fluctuations at these scales. The primary science question of
the session is: "What is the common ground between the above mentioned
viewpoints?" Specific questions that address the differences between
nonlinear turbulence and linear waves are: 1) Can we classify the kinetic
range turbulence as "strong" or "weak"? Are the fluctuations in the
quasilinear or fully nonlinear regimes? 2) What properties of kinetic range
fluctuations can be adequately represented by linear waves?  If linear
theory is useful for wave descriptions, can the waves be classified as
kinetic-Alfven-like and/or magnetosonic-whistler-like? 3) If kinetic range
turbulence is a fundamentally nonlinear phenomenon, which computational
models and which physical models (fluid, hybrid, or kinetic) are necessary
to adequately represent the physics?  Can nonlinear properties such as
intermittency be quantified in kinetic turbulence? 4) What are the
implications of various processes for heating of electrons, protons, and
heavy ions?  5) What are the key issues in the design of critical
simulations of the Challenge?

The session especially invites presentations of fully nonlinear simulation
results.

Session 2: Understanding the Origin and Transport of GLEs with Modern
Observations

Conveners: Eric Christian, Jim Ryan, Georgia deNolfo, and Gen Li


Session Description:

How the highest energy solar energetic particles, the so called Ground Level
Enhancements (GLEs) are accelerated to GeV energies remains a mystery. Both
acceleration through flare reconnection and CME-driven shocks are plausible,
but the question remains as to their relative importance in driving the
highest energy SEP events. While these high-energy particles often reach
near Earth with minimal transport effects compared to the widely studied
low-energy SEPs, the spectral shape, anisotropy, and time-evolution of GLEs
suggest that transport is important in interpreting these events.  This
session will focus on the origin and transport of the highest energy (>100
MeV) particles in SEP events, with a focus on GLEs and high-energy SEP
events that may fail to register in neutron monitors, the so-called sub-GLEs
(e.g. Jan 6 2014, Jan 27 2012).

Solar cycle 24 has provided an unprecedented view of GLE events including
the first spectral and pitch angle measurements of GLEs over a wide range in
energy from PAMELA and AMS, complementing the observations of traditional
ground-based instruments. In addition, multi-point observations from
spacecraft at 1 AU and the STEREO spacecraft provide detailed contextual
data, particularly on CME structure and evolution and potential magnetic
connectivity. While solar cycle 24 brings excited new observations to shed
light on the GLE process, we welcome discussions on high-energy events from
previous solar cycles.


Our session will expand on the discussion from SHINE 2015, focusing on the
following questions:

- What is the spectral shape (and its evolution) over a broad energy range
and how does this constrain models of acceleration? Are there spectral
roll-overs, breaks?

- Is there a relationship between the anisotropic phase and it's evolution
with time and the spectral shape (and its evolution)?

- Do all GLEs exhibit an anisotropic phase? What about sub-GLEs?
Isotropy at later times appears to be universal.

- What spectral features and/or pitch angle differences do we expect between
GLE events that are well-connected. such as 2012 May 17, and other events
(not necessarily GLEs) originating from the eastern hemisphere, e.g., 2012
March 7?

- Several of the GLEs in cycle 24 are associated with high-energy gamma-ray
observations from Fermi/LAT. How or do the gamma-ray observations influence
our understanding of GLE particle acceleration?
Are the particles in the flare and those in space related, and how?

Session 13. Heliosphere as Revealed from IBEX and Voyager Measurements

Conveners: 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)


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

11) 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 applicants’
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.
