brown dwarfs.  Based on the above, we would expect that some of the major themes of  CS 16 if it were held in Boston/Cambridge would be:  \begin{itemize}  \item *Astroseismology (first results from Kepler)  \item *The Sun (Hinode, Stereo and SDO)  \item *Advances in Stellar Corona Solar/Stellar Magnetic Fields  \item *Star Formation (Cores to Disks)\\  First results from WISE/Herschel recent Spitzer Results.  \item *Star Formation (Disks to Planetary Systems)\\  Ongoing X-ray, HST (COS), Spitzer and other current research.  Debris disks (insights from Spitzer and Keck-Interferometry/VLTI)  \item *Evolved Cool Stars\\  focusing on AGB results from Spitzer  \item *Exoplanets\\  Results from COROT  First results from Kepler  habitable zones, astrobiology  \  \item *Brown Dwarfs\\ New low temperature discoveries next generation wide-field IR  surveys (e.g., UKIDSS, CFHTLS, PanSTARRS, WISE)  Fundamental properties of nearby brown dwarfs  Advances in low temperature atmospheric theory  Brown dwarfs in Galactic populations (open & globular clusters,  disk, halo)  \end{itemize}
