Arcetri, October 28 - 31, 2024

The 2024 Arcetri Workshop on Plasma Astrophysics, reaching its 14th edition, as usual will explore theoretical topics in plasma dynamics with an emphasis on solar, heliospheric and galactic problems of current interest. Contributions based on simulation, observation, and fundamental theory are welcome. The meeting will be relatively informal, as it has always been during the years. The sessions' topics include:

  • Solar wind and coronal turbulence and theories of dissipation
  • Origin and evolution of the solar wind
  • Observational and simulation methods and studies
  • Solar energetic particles and solar modulation of galactic cosmic rays
  • Particle acceleration by turbulence, reconnection and shocks
  • Plasma astrophysics
  • Laboratory plasmas and connections to astrophysics
  • Solar Orbiter, Parker Solar Probe, MMS, and future missions

As in previous years the workshop will be held in the Aula A of the Garbasso building of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Largo Enrico Fermi 2, Firenze. This is located on the beautiful Arcetri hill, near the villa where Galileo Galilei lived his last years.
