Dr. Emma Whelan Maynooth University, Ireland Searching for an MHD Disk Wind Component via Optical Forbidden Emission Line Spectro-astrometry Abstract: A crucial step in understanding how stars accrete their mass, as well as how disks evolve, is clarifying… Read More

Dr. Hamish Reid University College London, UK Solar electron beams, turbulence, and plasma waves: the perfect ingredients for radio burst fine structure. Abstract: The Sun frequently accelerates near-relativistic electron beams that travel out through the solar corona and… Read More

Dr. Stanley Owocki University of Delaware, USA Magnetospheres of Magnetic Massive Stars Abstract: Massive, luminous, hot stars lack the hydrogen recombination convection zone that induces the magnetic dynamo cycle of cooler, solar-type stars. Nonetheless, modern spectropolarimetry has revealed… Read More

Dr. Jennifer Carter University of Leicester, UK Finding our SMILE Abstract: In the late 1990s and early 2000s, X-ray astronomers came to realise that geospace, and the wider heliosphere, emit X-rays. This was a source of frustration, as… Read More

Prof. Philippe Zarka Observatoire de Paris, France Perspectives on ground-based observations of Jupiter Abstract: Radio emissions from Jupiter have been studied for 66 years from the ground and 44 years from space. Although our knowledge has much progressed,… Read More

Mr. Mayur Bakrania University College London, UK Applying unsupervised learning and outlier detection methods to characterise magnetotail plasma sheet populations and instabilities Abstract: Collisionless space plasma environments are characterised by distinct particle populations that typically do not mix….
