Partially Ionized Plasmas in Astrophysics PIPA2019

Introduction

The “Partially Ionised Plasmas in Astrophysics” meetings are a series of conferences whose core subject is the study of partial ionisation effects in any Astrophysical context.


PIPA2019, the 3rd meeting of the series, will be organised in Palma de Mallorca (Spain) in the period 03 – 07 June 2019. The meeting is hosted by the Solar Physics group of the University of the Balearic Islands, Spain.

The meeting aims to broaden and strengthen the collaboration of scientists working in partially ionised plasmas in space (e.g., solar chromosphere, interstellar medium, protostellar discs, planetary magnetospheres and ionospheres, etc.) and to develop common scientific interests that could enhance cross-collaborations between scientists working in this field.

The meeting will focus on (but is not limited to) the following topics:

The format of this edition will be similar to that of the previous ones: a 5-day informal-style meeting with significant time for discussions.
