Special session on "Three Decades of Helioseismology and Magnetic Field Observations with GONG: Discoveries, Modern Studies, and Future Plans"

The 246th AAS meeting (joint with the Laboratory Astrophysics and Solar Physics Divisions) took place the of week 8-12 June 2025 in Anchorage, Alaska. A special session dedicated to GONG 30 years of operations explored the significant contributions of GONG to helioseismology and solar magnetic field studies, and discussed the future of synoptic observations in these fields beyond GONG and HMI. Photos from that session show (top to bottom): Sarbani Basu (Yale University) summarizing "Three decades of helioseismology with GONG", Sushanta Tripathy (NSO), presenting results of comparative analysis of subsurface flows from GONG and HMI, Lekshmi Biji (NSO) discussing high-latitude torsional oscillations, and the participants of this session with  Irina Kitiashvili (NASA Ames) asking questions.
