The Hellenic Astronomical conference is the biennial meeting of the Greek professional astronomers’ society. During the 11th version of this conference (held in Athens, Sep. 8-12, 2013), we contributed with a poster presentation on the need of pro-am collaborations for Jupiter and Saturn. In particular: “The need for Professional-Amateur collaborations…

Results (15/04/2015): Announcement (13/12/2015): The structure and variability of the upper atmospheres of the giant planets may be investigated by occultation techniques [1]. Ground-based photometric monitoring of stellar occultations measure the attenuation of starlight by the planet’s intervening atmosphere due to differential refraction. This requires a sufficiently bright star to act…
During the 13th European Solar Physics Meeting (held in Rhodes, Greece, September 12-16, 2011), we had the opportunity to present our work on spectroscopic observations of the Sun. Observations of FeXIV/FeX line ratio during the extended Solar minimum (2006-2010) total Solar eclipses Strikis Iakovos-Marios, Kouloumvakos Athanasios, Patsourakos Spiros Abstract:During the…
