The selection of the Saas-Fee course 2014 will be done at the
General Assembly in Zurich. We look forward to receiving interesting
proposals. If possible please contact the SSAA secretary in advance.
Looking forward to see many of you there!

4. Conference: Physics at the Magnetospheric Boundary
Physics at the Magnetospheric Boundary
Geneva, Switzerland, 25 - 28 June 2013
http://www.isdc.unige.ch/magbound/
The "Physics at the Magnetospheric Boundary" conference is aimed at bringing
together specialists working theoretically, numerically and observationally
on processes occurring at the limit of the magnetically dominated region
around accreting objects such as neutron stars, white dwarfs, and T Tauri
stars, where the surrounding hot plasma is finally captured.
Different manifestations of similar physical processes occur in this wide variety
of celestial sources and have been investigated since the 1960s by different
scientific communities. The conference represents a precious opportunity of
exchange between research groups working on the topic of accretion, across
different wavelengths and source types. It poses the basis for the next
steps forward in our understanding of the physics at the magnetospheric boundary.
Planned sessions for this conference include:
Theory of accretion onto magnetized stars
Numerical modelling of plasma-field interaction: accretion and jets production
Observational clues to the physics at the magnetosphere
Future perspectives in theory and observations

5) The Swiss webpage/calendar for public astronomy-related events,
http://astronomyevents.ch/, has been upgraded.
The page is run by the SSAA in collaboration with the Amateur
societies. All institutes and amateur societies have access to it.
We encourage you to post your future events on the page! To do so
please get in touch with the contact person of your institute
(or contact the webmaster).
The SSAA webpage is now also accessible under www.ssaa.ch
