Message from the MIST mailing list.
Dear colleagues,
As has now become our normal practice, this year's Spring MIST meeting is incorporated into the RAS National Astronomy Meeting (NAM 2011), which will take place in the Venue Cymru conference centre, Llandudno, from Sunday 17 to Thursday 21 April. NAM 2011 also incorporates the UK Solar Physics (UKSP) meeting.
The meeting is now open for delegates to register via https://reg.istrations.com/delegate/events/LCSNAM2011. Once registered you can then submit abstracts to session chairs. For more information on NAM 2011, including programme details, please see http://www.ras.org.uk/nam-2011. You can also see updates on Twitter via the hashtag #nam2011 and through the Royal Astronomical Society groups on Facebook and LinkedIn.
Please could I encourage all MIST members to consider attending the meeting and submitting abstracts. There are many sessions of interest to MIST scientists, including:
* Magnetospheres and ionospheres throughout the Universe
* The rise of Solar Cycle 24 and its implications for space weather
* The Radio window on the solar system and beyond
* Solar and space data processing
* High energy particles in the solar system
* MIST General Session
* Astronomy, space and industry
* MIST/UKSP Missions Forum
Some of these are badged as MIST sessions, some as joint with UKSP and NAM. Please consider these broadly as the incorporation of Spring MIST into NAM offers opportunities to exchange ideas with our solar physics colleagues and with astronomers interested in the physics we study, e.g. that at work in the neutral atmospheres, ionospheres and magnetospheres of objects beyond the solar systems.
The meeting also includes a plenary talk on EISCAT-3D, to be given by Esa Turunen. It seems very appropriate to do this at a meeting in Wales, given that our late Welsh colleagues, Sir Granville Beynon and Phil Williams, played a prominent role in establishing the original EISCAT project.
I hope to see you there.
Best wishes,
Mike
