Rev. 4.2: 30-Nov-2000: Time schdule revised. Add request to speakers.
Rev. 4.3: 01-Dec-2000: Add TEL & FAX No. of Science Meeting Office for contact with participants attending the meeting

       The 2nd Solar-B Science Meeting
                           Dec 4-6, 2000



 

In the 2nd Solar-B science meeting science goals, targets of observation,  methods
of observation shall seriously be discussed under the current instrument design. The
new science outputs from Solar-B are central issues of the discussion.  To achieve
the Solar-B science goals,  the software developments for Solar-B operation and
data analysis will also be discussed.
 

Meeting Schedule

The revised schedule is as follows:
 

REQUEST TO SPEAKERS:

LOC requests all speakers to prepare a copy of viewgraphs for proceedings.
Please leave the copy on the reception desk before the end of meeting.

When a speaker prepares PC presentation,

 (1) LOC can get the file from your anonymous ftp site,
     or
 (2) the speaker can send the file to loc@solar.isas.ac.jp as an attachment
      file if the file size is not huge.

 LOC prefers the former to latter.
 

Call for Poster:

LOC prepares A0 size poster boards for participants. Both instrument introduction
and science work are welcome. Please use this opportunity for good discussion.
