Abstract:
The evolution of the solar-stellar connection
is traced through the lens of two decades of Cool Stars
Workshops. Six ``themes'' contrast our
understanding twenty years ago
at the time of Cool Stars 1 with current ideas at Cool Stars 12.
These themes: magnetic cycles of activity
and their evolution; atmospheric structure(s), heating processes,
abundances, and the presence of planets around
cool stars other than the Sun have developed dramatically
(or even originated) during the
two decades of meetings. Advances represented by new capabilities
in observing facilities and computational power
will make possible future discoveries, insights, and
synthesis. New objects and relationships, new applications
of physics, and horizons expanded beyond our local neighborhood
will mark the exciting decades to come.
