Online Workshop

“Solar Physics with a Next Generation Solar Radio Facility”

Wednesday-Friday, December 1-3, 2021

All necessary links (Zoom, GatherTown, Slack) will be sent out by email to all attendees a few days before the workshop. If you have an issue, please send an email to fasr21@ssl.berkeley.edu


The need for a high-performance solar radio telescope in the United States has been recognized for many years. The FASR (Frequency Agile Solar Radiotelescope) 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 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 to help explore the frontiers of science and technology that will guide updates and refinements to the FASR concept.

Registration

The FASR 2021 Workshop will be free, 100% online, and centered on US time zones.

Contributions were accepted until November 1st. To attend only, there is no registration deadline. If you plan to attend, please go ahead and register in the link below.

Topics & Speakers

The FASR 2021 workshop will feature a series of invited plenary presentations (no breakout sessions), which are intended to seed open discussions on topics relevant to FASR science and technology. If you also wish to contribute to these open discussions, please provide a title and a short description of your proposed presentation or topic at the time of your registration. The SOC will review all proposals and selectively include them in the program in the limited time slots available for this purpose. If the SOC is unable to provide a time for an extended discussion of your contribution there will also be a poster session.
