Program

Topics 1-5 in the morning plenary sessions correspond to the following five science themes (the order, from Monday to Friday, may be subject to change):

Fundamental properties and processes of Cool Star Interiors

This theme targets key processes including dynamos, mixing, asteroseismology, (and more) in the interors of cool objects.

Advances in Models and Observations of Atmospheres in Cool Objects

This theme targets similarity and difference of various atmospheres from Sun-like stars and red dwarfs/giants/supergiants to brown dwarfs.

Magnetic Activity and Large-scale Events

This theme covers gyrochronology using XUV+chromospheric emissions, stellar rotation and magnetic fields in connection with (super)flares and mass ejections/winds through the evolution of cool stars.

Cool Stars with Protoplanetary Disks and Exoplanetary Systems

This theme focuses on the early stage of stellar evolution; some specific topics are accretion driven activity and star-planet interaction.

Cool Stars in the Context of Cosmic Evolution

This theme focuses on the formation and evolution of cool objects with various metallicities and their roles in the galaxy evolution.
