Summary of IAU Symposium 176
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
This IAU Symposium 176 on the topic “Stellar Surface Structure” provided a much needed opportunity for instrumentalists, observers, and theoreticians to present their exciting new results and to preview the even more exciting future for high-resolution imaging of stellar surfaces. I will attempt a critical summary of this symposium by calling attention to those areas that will likely be very productive in the future and by discussing some important topics that have not been addressed adequately to date, such as the roles of systematic and random errors, the true nature of the solar-stellar connection, and the physical processes responsible for stellar surface structure.
