Session M1/H2: Magnetic Activity: Sunspots & ARs
Tuesday, Valentine's Day, 2006
10:30 - Noon
Organizers: Bill Abbett, Rudi Komm, Todd Hoeksea


This session is a working science session focused on bringing together
modelers, theorists, and observers, magneticians and helioseismicators to foster
collaboration, to identify scientific challenges, and to determine how
HMI and AIA data products can be best used to address these challenges.

Invited speakers:

Bill Abbett - Introduction - 10 min

Mats Carlsson - From detailed magnetoconvection to simulations of the convection zone-corona system - 20 min

Doug Braun - Using helioseismology to probe magnetic structures - 20 min

Neal Hurlburt - Linking models and observations - 5 min

Tom Berger - High resolution photospheric observations - 5 min

Brian Welsch - Inferring surface flows from vector magnetograms - 5 min


We expect that the session should have a real workshop feel, and that the discussion will be lively!
