The Sturrock Solar Theory Group

Center for Space Science & Astrophysics
Stanford University, Varian 302g, Stanford, California 94305-4060

The Stanford Solar Theory group - under the leadership of Professor Peter Sturrock - pursues a vigorous program of research on outstanding solar physics problems involving data analysis, analytical theory, and numerical computation. Ongoing topics of research include the mechanism of the solar cycle, coronal heating, and time-series analysis of solar neutrino data.

The Sturrock Solar Theory group is part of the Center for Space Science & Astrophysics, an interdepartmental organization coordinating teaching and research in space science and astrophysics.

Solar Neutrinos

Our next neutrino-group meeting is scheduled for Monday, July 1, at 3:00 pm, in the Varian third floor conference room.
