First Announcement of the Conference “Atomic physics, plasma spectroscopy, and solar physics from space: Celebrating the achievements of Alan Gabriel”
Institut d’Astrophysique Spatiale
CNRS-Université Paris-Sud
Orsay, France
20 June 2013
This conference aims at presenting the status of atomic physics, plasma spectroscopy, and solar physics from space, put in the perspective of the achievements made with SOHO and the missions that followed.
In addition, on 22 September 2013, our friend and colleague Alan Gabriel will celebrate his 80th birthday. In anticipation of this, it will be an excellent opportunity to celebrate his many (and continuing) contributions to science in various fields. They range from atomic physics and plasma spectroscopy (theta-pinch machine) to solar and space physics – from Skylab, SMM (PI of XRP), Spacelab2, to SOHO (GOLF, CDS, EIT, SUMER ) – as well as science management, including RAL (UK), IAS (France), ESA SSWG (and SSAC), NASA/ESA Solar Orbiter/Sentinels.
Presentations addressing new results in atomic physics, plasma spectroscopy and solar physics are welcome, along with reminiscences related to Alan, which are warmly encouraged.
The conference will take place in the Amphithéâtre Lehmann, Laboratoire de l’Accélérateur Linéaire, Building 200, close to I.A.S.
A cocktail is scheduled at the adjacent Institut d’Astrophysique Spatiale (Orsay) at 17.30
There is no conference fee. However, for logistical reasons, please register at
