International Astronomical Union Symposium 328

Living around Active Stars
17-21 October, 2016
Maresias, SP, Brazil

First Announcement

Rationale: The variable activity of stars such as the Sun is mediated
via stellar magnetic fields, radiative and energetic particle fluxes,
stellar winds and magnetic storms. This activity influences planetary
atmospheres, climate and habitability. Studies of this intimate
relationship between the parent star, its astrosphere (i.e., the
equivalent of the heliosphere) and the planets that it hosts have
reached a certain level of maturity within our own Solar System –
fuelled both by advances in theoretical modelling and a host of
satellites that observe the Sun-Earth system. In conjunction, the
first attempts are being made to characterize the interactions between
stars and planets and their coupled evolution, which have relevance
for habitability and the search for habitable planets. This Symposium
will bring together scientists from diverse, interdisciplinary
scientific areas such as solar, stellar and plan etary physics,
atmospheric and climate physics and astrobiology to review the current
state of our understanding of solar and stellar environments. The
Symposium is expected to fertilize exchange of ideas and identify
outstanding issues – tackling which necessitates coordinated
scientific efforts across disciplines.

Invited Speakers: Anil Bhardwaj (India), Cesar Bertucci (Argentina),
Paul Charbonneau (Canada), Manuel Guedel (Austria), Gaitee Hussain
(Germany), Moira Jardine (UK), Colin Johnstone (Austria), Laurène
Jouve (France), Eiichiro Kokubo (Japan), Hiroyuki Maehara (Japan),
