COSPAR Session E23: New perspectives on the solar-stellar connection
 
Event description:
The corona of our Sun is, to date, the only stellar corona that can be 
spatially
resolved and studied at a high level of detail. The solar corona is 
therefore
often used as paradigm for the interpretation of the X-ray activity of other
solar-like stars of which we can only observe disk-integrated emission.
Stars, on the other hand, present an enormous range of ages, and other 
physical
properties, and thus they provide tools for understanding the long-term
evolution of solar X-ray activity, as well as offering laboratories for 
testing
detailed models of solar activity in conditions unavailable to the Sun.
The proposed session aims at providing the solar and stellar communities
with an opportunity for meeting and discussing recent advances in our 
understanding
of the physical processes at work in the X-ray emitting outer atmosphere
of the Sun and of stars. The discussion will be particularly focused on
recent results of the Hinode and SDO missions on the solar side, and XMM
and Chandra on the stellar one.
