527th Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Seminar
Plasma and Radiation Environment in Astrospheres and Implications for the Habitability of Extrasolar Planets
10 - 15 March 2013, Physikzentrum Bad Honnef, Germany
Organization: PD Dr. Horst Fichtner & Dr. Klaus Scherer, Group Heliophysics, RUB
For this Heraeus seminar the emphasis is put on five key questions for the following topics:
Astrospheres: What is the spectrum of the cosmic ray flux outside an astrosphere and how is it transported through it?
Stellarspheres: How does the host star influence the exo-planetary environment by its electromagnetic radiation and energetic particle production?
Magnetospheres: What are the possible magnetosphere configurations of an exo-planet and what is its influence on the transport of energetic particles?
Atmospheres: How does the chemistry, the atmospheric dynamics and interaction with energetic particles influence the observability of an exo-planet?
Biospheres: Can possible signatures of life such as atmospheric ozone, methane be observed, and what is their possible contamination by energetic particle and radiation processes in the exo-planetary atmosphere?

Internationaler Workshops "Wind Bubbles, Astrospheres, Heliosphere: Environments and Cosmic Rays"
The interdisciplinary workshop will give a synoptic overview of the commonality and differences between astrospheres (or stellar wind bubbles) and the heliosphere, as well as the production and leakage of cosmic rays in such 'Spheres'.
Er findet vom 04.11.-08.11.2013 an der RUB mit führenden Wissenschaftler/innen aus 12 Nationen und 3 Kontinenten im Raum Shanghai, IBZ (Beckmann's Hof) statt.
Organisation: PD Dr. Horst Fichtner & Dr. Klaus Scherer
