The solar physics workshops are jointly organized by the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) and the European Association for Solar Telescopes (EAST) to bring together scientists, engineers, and especially the next generation of solar astronomers and instrument builders. This second one focused on connectivity science, which looks at the solar atmosphere as a system connected by solar magnetic fields. Of particular interest were the new capabilities that large aperture solar telescopes will provide for observing and measuring magnetic fields and their dynamic behavior from the photosphere to the corona. The 50 papers discuss such matters as understanding the role of small-scale flux in solar spectral irradiance variation, the distributions of ultraviolet solar explosive events, tools for measuring the solar magnetic field in three dimensions, the expected performance of adaptive optics in large aperture solar telescopes, India's national large solar telescope, and the simple hyperspectral imaging polarimeter concept.
