As the birth place of perhaps most of the stars, star clusters offer an incredible testbed for theories of star formation, stellar structure, stellar populations, stellar dynamics and much more, including theories of galaxy formation. This small conference is open to all astronomers working on star clusters and related fields, with a special emphasis on those working in Chile.
Registration and abstract submission:
Registration and abstract submission are open. To register fill in the following google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe37i46p_7gYuOofrQ1vqSNlP330rMKkWqpZGHvVtCsr58o5A/viewform
