FASR2021: second announcement (website & registration are open)

[Eduard Kontar]

Dear Colleagues,

There is second announcement from Pascal Saint-Hilaire:

--------------
Second announcement: "FASR2021 workshop: Solar Physics with a Next
Generation Solar Radio Facility", Dec 1-3, 2021 (virtual).
Website/registration are now open.

Main text:

The need for a high-performance solar radio telescope in the United
States has been recognized for many years. The FASR concept represents
such a telescope, one that provides high-resolution imaging over a broad
range of frequencies, sufficient to probe the solar atmosphere from the
mid-chromosphere to the mid-corona, with high time and spectral
resolution. EOVSA implemented many FASR design elements and, as such,
has served as a valuable pathfinder instrument, spectacularly validating
both the fundamental concept of time-resolved broadband imaging
spectroscopy and the science it enables. In the meantime, science and
technology have advanced and the need for full implementation of the
FASR concept has only grown more important

In anticipation of upcoming funding opportunities, this workshop is
being convened from 2021 Dec 1-3 to highlight progress in solar physics
over the past decade, and to take stock of the unique contributions
enabled by the current suite of new radio instruments, to refine the
science goals and requirements of a next-generation solar radio
facility. The workshop will provide a forum to discuss relevant new and
emerging technologies that will enable this new science. We invite
colleagues with an interest in solar physics and radio technology, and
from other fields that would stand to benefit, to help explore the
frontiers of science and technology that will guide updates and
refinements to the FASR concept.

The workshop will be virtual, hosted from the University of California
Berkeley's Space Sciences Laboratory (LOC: Pascal Saint-Hilaire, Milo
Buitrago-Casas, Jim McTiernan, Gelu Nita). The Scientific and Technical
Organizing Committee is composed of Marin Anderson (JPL), Tim Bastian
(NRAO), Bin Chen (NJIT), James Drake (UMD), Dale Gary (NJIT), Lindsay
Glesener (UMN), Gregg Hallinan (Caltech), Jonathon Kocz (UCB), Haosheng
Lin (U. Hawaii), Sophie Musset (ESA), Dan Werthimer (UCB). Website and
registration are at https://fasr21.ssl.berkeley.edu/. Deadline for
contributions is November 1st, 2021. There is no deadline for participation.
