ESA Science & Technology - SOHO-23: Understanding a Peculiar Solar Minimum

Start date: 22 Sep 2009
Address: Asticou Inn, Northeast Harbor, Maine, United States

The SOHO-23 meeting will cover all aspects of solar and heliospheric science that deal with solar cycle variability and the evolution of solar activity on time scales from seconds to decades. The "new millennium solar minimum" of 2007-2009 has contained some distinct surprises, including a delayed onset of Solar Cycle 24, the absence of a classical quiescent equatorial streamer belt, and anomalously low heliospheric magnetic fields, densities, and temperatures.
