1. Summary of 2008 Science Team Meeting

2. Collaboration With Dr. Wiegelmann 1. NLFFF extrapolation, leading person: Ju Jing. Objective: adapt codes to BBSO data, evaluate the effect of saturation, ready for VIM/IRIM data and SDO data. Other applications: apply to chromospheric data (Na Deng); compare with radio data (Jeongwoo Lee and Dale Gary); Flaring AR field connectivity (Chang Liu). Data from Mees, SOLIS, and VLA will be explored.

3. Collaboration With Dr. Wiegelmann 2. STEREO 3-D imaging Yan Xu and Vasyl Yurchyshyn with Dr. Thomas’ student Ms. Feng 3. Field Line Tracing using Halph Contact person in Thomas’ Group: Inhester

4. Collaboration With Prof. Pengfei Chen Reconnection and electron acceleration (Chang Liu and Yan Xu), microphysics in reconnection region Prominence oscillation (Ju Jing and a student) Flare model to explain our findings: penumbral decay, neutral line enhancement, ribbon contraction etc. (Wang)

5. Collaboration with Prof. Denker VIM (Chang and Na) 2-D Spectropolarimetry Real-time speckle—new codes, combination of narrowband and broadband, AO function into consideration

6. Enhanced Collaboration with OVRO Group Synthesized modeling of 3-D structure combining optical and radio data (Jeongwoo Lee) Reconnection, small/large-scale turbulence and plasma motions, and particle acceleration (Gregory Fleishman)
