Dear
colleagues!
Special Astrophysical
Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SAO RAS) together with
the Main (Pulkovo) Astronomical Observatory are carring out the
All-Russian conference on solar physics "Multi-Wavelength Investigations
of the Sun and modern problems of solar activity". The conference will be
held on the territory of SAO RAS in the settlement (“academgorodok”) Nizhnij
Arhyz (also named “Bukovo”) from September, 28 to October, 2, 2006
(from Thursday to Monday).
The program of the conference
will include reviews, oral talks and posters.
For the holding the conference a
large and small halls of the observatory in Nizhnij Arkhiz will be
provided, and also if necessary a hall at the radio telescope RATAN-600.
Area Information. The Special Astrophysical
Observatory is located on the western part of Northern Caucasus in
Karachaevo-Circassian Republic of Russian Federation. The administrative
centre, the library, scientific laboratories, computer center, hotel and
apartment houses of an observatory are located in the settlement Nizhnij
Arkhiz, which is situated in 25 kms to the south from a village
Zelenchukskaya. The Nizhnij Arkhiz is located in a valley of the river
Bolshoj Zelenchuk at the altitude of 1300 m above sea level. The optical
observation station of the observatory is located in 17 kms from a
settlement on slopes of the mountain Pastuhova at the altitude of 2100 m
in a zone of alpine meadows. SAO has the largest in Europe optical
telescope with the 6-meters diameter mirror (the Large Telescope
Alt-Azimuthal – “BTA”), and also small telescopes with diameters of
mirrors of 1 and 0.6 meters.
The RATAN-600 radio telescope
is located in 25 kms from the Academgorodok, on the southern surburb of
the village Zelenchukskaya. It has an original design as the antenna
with a variable profile of the reflecting surface, made in the shape of
a circle with a diameter of 600 m. In this class of radio telescopes
RATAN-600 is the largest tool in the world. Between RATAN-600 and
Bukovo, a large parabolic mirror of IPA with 32 m of diameter is
located.
During the conference,
excursions to all the listed astronomical telescopes will be organized.
Transportation. It is
possible to reach the Nizhnij Arkhiz by a bus (or car). The asphalted
highway links it to Krasnodar (320 kms), Nevinnomyssk (130 kms),
Stavropol (200 kms), Cherkessk (100 kms) and Mineralnye Vody (210 kms).
SAO RAS will organize the delivery and departure of participants of the
conference using the observatory’s buses and cars. It is desirable to
come on conference by the following types of transport:
1. By train. The place of
arrival is the station Nevinnomyskaya. .

Temperature of the air in the
afternoon is 20-25 degrees, but in the evenings it is cool, and the
temperature of the air lowers below 10 degrees centigrade.
Location. The settlement
of astronomers is located in a picturesque place, in a beechen wood in
root of Pastuhova mountain. In 2 kms from a settlement the historical -
architectural complex Nizhne-Arhyzsky is located, with a medieval site
of ancient settlement (presumably the capital of the Western Alania) and
temples of X century - the most ancient Christian monuments in Russia.
In 25 kms upwards on a valley of the river Bolshoy Zelenchuk one of
centers of mountaineering on Caucasus - the mountain area Arkhyz is
located . And in 100 kms to the east - in territory of the Conservation
area “Teberdinsky Zapovednik” - mountain resorts Teberda and Dombai are
located.
Accommodation. In
the observatory in Nizhnij Arhyz there are two hotels. Lower hotel
"Rest house for astronomers" is located in a settlement in one complex
with a main office building. There are 36 comfortable rooms in this
hotel. In the same building a dining room is located. Upper hotel
"Andromeda" is located at the altitude of 2000 meters, near to optical
telescopes. In the hotel with 12 rooms, there is a cosy hall with a
fireplace, seats and little tables for rest, conversations and helding
of celebratory parties. Through the windows of the hotel wonderful views
on mountain ranges and valleys is seen. At the RATAN-600 there is a
hotel also, with comfortable roomss of different level. There are 10
rooms in the hotel and the hostel for observers with 6 rooms.
Halls for helding the
conference. During the conference period it is supposed to conduct a
public meeting of the section "Sun" with discussion of results of the
researches made in 2005.
Participation of some foreign
scientists working in joint projects with the Russian scientists (the
program of INTAS and other international programs) is supposed. For this
purpose separate meetings on demand of participants will be organized.

The second announcement will be
distributed on April 2006, to those scientists who declared about the
desire to participate in the conference. The question of partial
financial support for participants of the conference will be considered
after the collecting of all application forms for participation. The
organizing committee will make necessary efforts for organization of
financial support (first of all to young participants and scientists
from remote institutes and observatories). For the well-timed solution
of a question on financial support the request to observe term of
submission of abstracts on conference.
In the second announcement rules
and terms of representation of abstracts, and also the necessary current
information will be stated.
