There will be 35 parallel science sessions at NAM2010, organised in blocks of 105 minutes with 5 sessions running concurrently. A wide range of themes will be explored - from planetary systems and stellar astrophysics to galaxy formation and cosmology. Sessions will highlight early results from the very latest telescopes, such as Herschel and VISTA, as well as exploring the science and technology drivers for future missions and facilities, such as SCUBA-2, Advanced LIGO, ELT and SKA.
The UKSP and MIST topical sessions include: multi-point measurements in space, Sun and heliosphere, energetic particles, solar magneto-seismology, active region flows and heating, and will feature results from both new and long-serving missions, including Hinode, STEREO, CLUSTER and RHESSI. There will be a number of joint and interdisciplinary sessions on themes exploring the roles of plasma physics and magnetic fields throughout the Universe.
In addition to the parallel sessions there will be two dedicated 90
minute sessions for poster viewing and discussion. The posters will be up for the whole week in the Hunter Halls.
