Background

It has been 10 years since the last meeting devoted to stellar radio emission (Radio Stars: Boulder, Colorado, 1984). Since that time there have been major observational advances in this field. The number of stars and classes of stars that are known to be sources of radio emission have increased dramatically. We are now able to image radio emission from stellar sources at resolution and sensitivity that was impossible 10 years ago. Moreover, there have been new and exciting results in both continuum and spectral line, arising from new telescopes operating at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. These data have revealed new phenomena associated with stars and have yielded new observational data on previously known phenomena. It is time to synthesize this rich and powerful set of new radio observations; to bring together workers in this field and to help turn this data into new theories and insights into the processes giving rise to stellar radio emission.

At the same time that major advances have been made in observations of radio stars, the study of solar radio emission has been making tremendous strides, particularly in the area of active phenomena. Observational highlights include i) results from the new Japanese radioheliograph; ii) joint microwave soft X-ray, and hard X-ray imaging of solar flares by the VLA, the Japanese radioheliograph, and YOHKOH; iii) high-time resolution imaging of dynamical phenomena; iv) joint continuum imaging and spectroscopy of decimetric phenomena; v) broadband microwave imaging spectroscopy; vi) mapping at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths.

Solar and stellar radio astronomers have traditionally worked as two separate communities. Given the significant advances in each area, we have an excellent opportunity to foster cross-fertilization between the two disciplines. One of the goals of this meeting is to bring these two communities together to explore those areas of astrophysics in common and to study the solar-stellar connection.

The meeting will take place from 3 to 7 July at the University of Barcelona.
