Second Hinode Science Meeting
Beyond Discovery — Toward Understanding

SCIENCE PROGRAM

NOTE: Below are listed the invited speakers for the scientific sessions. Each session is organized so as to have ample time for a number of additional contributed oral talks. After registration closes on July 31, 2008, the Scientific Organizing Committee will decide which requested oral presentations will be presented in these sessions.
