CEDAR email: Final Abstracts Call: 2016 AGU Fall Mtg -- Session SH011 -- New Observations & Recent Results for Solar X-ray Spectral Measurements and their Applications for Earth's Atmosphere

[Vanessa George]

Dear Colleagues,

The AGU abstract deadline is just days away:  August 3 at 11:59 pm EDT.

We cordially invite you to submit an abstract for the Fall AGU 2016 meeting, session SH011, “New Observations and Recent Results for Solar X-ray Spectral Measurements and their Applications for Earth’s Atmosphere.”  This session is inspired by recent and upcoming missions to measure the critically under-observed ~0.2 -- 5 keV (~0.25 -- 6 nm) spectral range, including the Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) CubeSat.

The session invites talks covering ALL X-ray bands, not just soft X-rays—if your work relates to solar X-rays of any type, please consider submitting an abstract to this session.

We invite presentations discussing spectrally-resolved solar X-ray measurements (including spectroscopy and imaging), new techniques, and instrumentation (including proposed new instruments); their implications for studies of plasma heating and particle acceleration in the flaring and quiescent corona; and their influence on Earth’s upper atmosphere and ionosphere.  The full session description, and a link to submit an abstract, can be found here:

The deadline to submit an abstract is 3 August 2016 at 11:59 pm EDT.  We look forward to your submissions!

Conveners: Amir Caspi (SwRI), Tom Woods (CU/LASP)
