[Nessc] NESSC Meeting on CMEs: Wed Oct 24th at UNH

[Nathan Schwadron]

Dear Colleagues

We are greatly looking forward to our next New England Space Science Consortium (NESSC) meeting that will take place on Wednesday October 24, 2012 in room 330/332 of the Memorial Union Building at the University of New Hampshire. The meeting is scheduled is from 11:00 am to 4:30 pm. 

The focus of the meeting will be "Coronal mass ejections and Associated Phenomena". Our program schedule is listed below. We are planning to discuss topics such as the geometry, temperature structure and composition of CMEs near the Sun as observed remotely by coronagraphs, UV, EUV and X-Ray imagers, and near the Earth as observed remotely by heliospheric imagers and as measured in situ, the acceleration of particles by CME-driven shocks in the corona and in the interplanetary space, as well as discussions regarding the presence of a pre-existing flux rope, the cause of CME initiation and the origin of the SEP seed particles.
Thank you for those who participated in the doodle poll to determine the date of this meeting and sorry to those whose schedule we could not accommodate.

If you are interested in coming to the meeting, please email nlugaz at guero.sr.unh.edu.
