(5ª Escuela
Internacional de Física Solar El Leoncito - 2011)
Estación Astronómica
"Carlos Ulrico Cesco"
Observatorio Astronómico
“Félix Aguilar”, FCEFN-UNSJ
El Leoncito, San Juan (Argentina)
February 07th
to February 13th, 2011
As
part of the German-Argentinean agreement of scientific cooperation, a fifth
instance of the “El Leoncito International Solar Physics School” will
take place next February at the “Estación Astronómica Carlos U. Cesco”, El
Leoncito, San Juan, Argentina. The station belongs to
the “Observatorio Astronómico Félix Aguilar” (OAFA) and is located on the
western side of the argentinean Precordillera de los Andes at 2400 m altitude.
In the framework of the agreement two ground-based solar instruments, the
so-called HASTA
(H-alpha Solar Telescope for Argentina) and MICA (Mirror Coronagraph
for Argentina) continuously observe our Star, the Sun, providing exciting data
to the scientific community. Moreover, the
Helio-Geophysics Laboratory – that includes the Solar Submillimeter-wave
Telescope (SST), the Solar Mid Infrared photometer/imager, some cosmic-ray
monitors and VLF tracking stations – operates nearby to the station at the
“Complejo Astronómico El Leoncito”. Therefore, jointly with the very well equipped
facilities and friendly staff, this remote and peaceful place will be the ideal
venue to hold the School, between the 07th of February
and the 13th of February, 2011, full-time.
In
this opportunity, the School is organized by OAFA , a part of the
“Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales” (FCEFN), National University of
San Juan (UNSJ), and other co-organizing partner institutions:
Max Planck Institut für Sonnensystemforschung (MPS),
Instituto de Astronomía y Física del Espacio (IAFE),
Complejo Astronómico El Leoncito (CASLEO)
and Instituto de Ciencias Astronómicas, de la Tierra y del Espacio (ICATE), members of the Argentinean
Scientific and Technological National Research Council (CONICET).
The
School welcomes a maximum of 20 graduate or undergraduate students in Physics,
Astronomy, Engineering and related fields . As some
lectures will be held in English and the rest in Spanish, we expect students
with good understanding of both English and Spanish (oral and written). Lectures
will be given during mornings and afternoons. Joint exercises with tutors, as
well as use of the solar instruments at the Observatory and data reduction are
scheduled as part of the activities. Students who are already working in
related fields to that of the School are strongly encouraged to bring and
present their work as posters. Time will be available to discuss them during
the School.
Those
students interested in attending the 5th Solar Physics School must
fill and send a Registration
Form. That form includes a brief curriculum
information, a certificate with the undergraduate marks, a short summary of
their interests and a Letter
of Reference from their thesis advisor, or Head of Department, to the
address shown below. The form must reach OAFA by November 20th 2010. Selected candidates will be informed by November 30th 2010.
The
registration fee is $200 (national argentine currency, approximately U$S 50) to
cover living expenses (full pension) during 7 days at El Leoncito and travels
San Juan/El Leoncito. Domestic travel
expenses are not covered.
A
limited number of travel and registration grants will be available for
students.
