Radio Stars and Their Lives in the Galaxy An MIT Haystack Observatory Workshop October 3 - 5, 2012 Westford, Massachusetts USA
|
Detectable radio emission arises from stars across the entire H-R diagram, spanning virtually every stage of stellar evolution. The origin of stellar radio emission stems from a wide variety of physical processes, and observations of stars at radio wavelengths probe a broad range of astrophysical phenomena that cannot be studied by any other means.
This workshop will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion
of the many advances in stellar and solar astrophysics recently (or
soon to be) enabled by the latest generation of state-of-the-art radio
facilities operating from meter to submillimeter wavelengths. We seek
to bring together both observers and theorists to stimulate a lively
exchange of ideas on how radio wavelength observations can
provide new and unique insights into the workings of stars.
The workshop will
focus on both hot and cool stars spanning the main sequence through
post-main sequence evolutionary phases. We will also explore radio
stars as probes of the Galaxy and
the Galactic "ecosystem".
Invited review topics will include:

The workshop will be held at Haystack Observatory in Westford,
Massachusetts, roughly 35 miles northwest of Boston. Note that October is
one of the most beautiful times of year to visit
New England!
