SOHO 15: Talks
Warning: This page is intended to be displayed with Cascading Style Sheets. You are either using a browser that doesn't support style sheets, or have them turned off.
These pages should work fine regardless, but won't be as attractive as if you had a style sheet enabled browser.
Below are links to all the electronic talks presented at SOHO 15. Please click on the talk title to view/download the talk. An indication of file size is given.
All the talks are in PDF format (except 1 html talk). Powerpoint files have been converted to pdf for the following reasons (1) pdf files are generally smaller than powerpoint files so transfer quicker, (2) pdf files can be viewed on more platforms (e.g., linux etc), (3) pdf files offer a bit more protection of the authors work. Note, movies have not been included with these pdfs.

SOHO 15: Posters
Please find below pdf versions of posters displayed at SOHO 15. It is anticipated that this list will expand as delegates submit their posters. A note on submission can be found after the poster list.
Posters can be submitted as follows. (1) by email to office@soho15.org if the file size is smaller than 1MB, (2) by ftp, please email us at office@soho15.org for instructions. The prefered format is pdf, but we will convert powerpoint, postscript and any popular format if you are unable to do so yourself.
