Baku hosts international conference on solar physics and space weather reseraches

Baku, July 6, AZERTAC An international conference "Variability of the sun and sun-like stars: from asteroseismology to space weather" today kicked off in the capital of Azerbaijan. Executive director of the Science Development Foundation (SDF) Elchin Babayev spoke of the projects the strcuture implements, the achievements the Center achieved last years. The Conference is financially and organizationally supported by the Science Development Foundation under the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The Baku Solar Conference 2015 to be held in 06-08 July 2015 aims to highlight all aspects of modern solar physics research, including observation and theory that span from the interior of the Sun out into the wider heliosphere, as well as solar-terrestrial physics and particularly, sun-like stars. This Conference will provide a broad, yet stimulating, environment for domestic and international scientists to share the findings of their research in solar and solar-terrestrial physics. The event will comprise of invited reviews and contributed talks as well as some poster presentations. One of conference sessions will be held at the Shamakhy Astrophysical Observatory. The topics of Conferense are problems of asteroseismology, solar neutrino problem and its solution scenarios, solar magnetism - dynamo theory, solar flares - observation and theoretical aspects, oscillations and waves in the solar atmosphere, the problem of heating of solar corona, the theory of the solar coronal mass ejections and others.
