Solar Gamma-, X-, and EUV Radiation

by S.R. Kane (Editor)

Overview

The symposium on 'Solar Gamma-, X- and EUV Radiation' was held at Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 11 June to 14 June 1974. It was sponsored jointly by the Inter- national Astronomical Union (IAU) and the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR). The Organization Committee responsible for the program consisted of Drs K. A. Anderson (Chairman), J. L. Culhane, G. Elwert, B. B. Fossi, S. L. Mandel- s'tam, W. M. Neupert, V. K. Prokofiev, and J. Sahade and representatives of COSPAR, Drs H. Friedman and Z. Svestka. During the symposium Dr Svestka kindly represented the chairman of the Organizing Committee who was unable to attend the symposium. The local arrangements in Buenos Aires were made by Drs J. Sahade (Chairman), H. S. Ghielmetti, M. J. Gulich, H. Molnar, J. J. Tasso and N. Martinez Riva de Tropper. This symposium brought together the observational and theoretical aspects of the Solar Gamma-, X-, and EUV Radiation and other related solar emissions such as radio and energetic particles. There were three specific topics for the symposium, viz.
