Registration Open Now – IAU Symposium 357 (2019 Feb 20)
White Dwarfs as probes of fundamental physics and tracers of planetary, stellar and galactic evolution
Hilo, Big Island, Hawaii, USA – October 21st – 25th 2019
Full details can be found on the website – http://www.gemini.edu/iau357/
We are pleased to announce that full registration is now open for IAU Symposium 357. Please use this link and select “Conference Registration”. It covers lunches at Grand Naniloa hotel and coffee breaks from Monday to Friday. The deadline for registration is June 30, 2019. Space is limited so please consider registering early.
Applications for travel grants are also now open. Please note the earlier deadline of May 31, 2019, to allow processing and approval by the IAU.
First Announcement – IAU Symposium 357 (2018 Oct 11)
White Dwarfs as probes of fundamental physics and tracers of planetary, stellar and galactic evolution
Hilo, Big Island, Hawaii, USA – October 21-25th 2019
Full details can be found on the website – http://www.gemini.edu/iau357/
We are pleased to post the first announcement for IAU Symposium 357, covering the subject of white dwarf stars and their roles as probes of exoplanet composition, stellar and galactic evolution and fundamental physics. This Symposium is particularly timely, taking place 18 months after GAIA DR2, which provides parallax and photometric measurements for thousands of white dwarfs. This vast database provides an unprecedented window into the basic physical parameters of white dwarf stars. The meeting is planned to be highly interdisciplinary, bringing together not just astronomers from the white dwarf field, but also those with expertise in cosmology, atomic physics & data, planetary system dynamics, astrometry, dark matter, astroparticle physics, exoplanets, astronomical statistics, stellar spectroscopy, stellar atmosphere theory, computational fluid dynamics, fundamental physics and others.
Our goal is to create a dynamic opportunity, employing a diverse range of astrophysical expertise to address fundamental questions in white dwarf astrophysics, thereby formulating the direction of white dwarf studies in the next decade.
Pre-registration is now open.
Please register before November 30th 2018 to receive further announcements and and information about the symposium (note: if you have already pre-registered following the test announcement at the Austin white dwarf workshop, there is no need to re-register).
