02 Apr 2010; Tampa, Florida, United States

abstract: The bending of light due to gravitational effects is one of the famous predictions of Einstein’s theory of general relativity, confirmed in 1919. In gravitational lensing, this phenomenon is used to reconstruct the source of light from the images observed.

The mathematical formulation of this problem has recently lead to surprising new results in complex analysis . This workshop will explore recent developments in this fascinating subject at the intersection between astrophysics, general relativity and mathematics.

18.go to top of page[ID=324009]Deciphering the Ancient Universe with Gamma-Ray Bursts
19 Apr 2010 → 23 Apr 2010; Kyoto, Japan

abstract: Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous and violent explosions detectable out to the edge of the observable Universe. As soon as their cosmological origin was established, it became apparent that GRBs can serve as powerful probes of the high-redshift Universe. The association of long GRBs with the deaths of massive stars imply that they trace the sites and history of massive star formation. Their optical and near-infrared afterglows reveal spectral imprints of their environments, including the interstellar medium of their host galaxies as well as the intergalactic medium during cosmic reionization. With the Swift Observatory in orbit, such expectations are now being materialized. With GRB 050904, we found that the Universe was already largely ionized at z=6.3. The discovery of GRB 090423 at z~8.2, the most distant astrophysical object known to date, clearly demonstrates that in the coming years, GRBs will offer us an unprecedented view into the mysterious era of cosmic reionization and the formation of the first stars and galaxies. And yet, our knowledge concerning the GRBs themselves remain appallingly meager, such as their progenitors, their true energetics, the mechanisms of jet formation, particle acceleration and prompt emission, etc.

The aim of this conference is to discuss the latest observational and theoretical developments in this exciting field of GRBs, with a strong emphasis on their use as probes of the high redshift universe. Non-GRB studies of the high redshift Universe, involving e.g. supernovae, galaxies, quasars and background radiation, are also essential elements of this conference.

abstract: VLBI activity in the east asia region is growing. VERA and JVN are regularly operating and producing scientific fruits in astrometry and astrophysics. All three KVN antennas were built and getting ready for science operations. CVN will be powered for the a new 65-m telescope in Shanghai and the next lunar mission. Developments and scientific studies of the VSOP-2 are advancing. And some EAVN test observations have succeeded this year to aim scientific operations in near future.

In the workshop, technical progress and recent VLBI results will be reported. Collaborations and exchange of knowledge will be issued. An important purpose of the workshop is to establish the operation policy of the EAVN. Roadmap to science operations, time allocations, operation management, and ground support for the VSOP-2 will be discussed. All of participants are welcome to contribute the discussion.

25 Apr 2010 → 30 Apr 2010; Universitätszentrum Obergurgl (Ötz Valley, near In, Austria

abstract: The present-day catalogue of extrasolar planets includes a panoply of astoundingly diverse systems containing more than one planetary companion. The observational data on multiple systems (orbital architectures, mass distributions, stellar host properties) have important implications for the proposed models of formation and early evolution of planetary systems, provide important clues on the relative role of several proposed mechanisms of dynamical interactions between forming planets, gaseous/planetesimals disks, and distant companion stars, and allow to measure the likelihood of formation and survival of terrestrial planets in the Habitable Zone of the parent star. Multiple-planet systems are thus clearly excellent laboratories to search for fossil evidence of formation and dynamical evolution mechanisms.

39.go to top of page[ID=324813]Exploring the Dawn of the Universe with Gamma-Ray Bursts
17 May 2010 → 22 May 2010; Cargèse, Corsica, France

abstract: Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), the most powerful explosions since the formation of the Universe, are unique cosmic events. Lasting from a few milliseconds to several minutes, they shine hundreds of times brighter than a typical supernova, the ultimate end of a massive star, and about a million trillion times as bright as the Sun. There is roughly a GRB detection once a day from wholly random sky directions. It is now widely accepted that GRBs are produced when a massive star undergoes core collapse or when two compact objects merge (e.g. neutron star - neutron star, black hole - neutron star). Due to the extreme luminosity of the multi-wavelength emission, they are now considered as one of the best ways to probe the dawn of the Universe.

An international school aimed at improving our knowledge of the GRB phenomena will take place in Cargèse in May 2010. Other topics to be covered are the unveiling of the nature of the early Universe and the preparation of the next generation of dedicated instruments. The school will be open to the entire scientific community. The school will be based primarily on in-depth lectures, with the remaining time available for shorter contributions from participants.

43.go to top of page[ID=323895]Haloes going MAD
24 May 2010 → 28 May 2010; La Cristalera de Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Spain

abstract: With the ever-growing possibilities to simulate cosmic structure formation on scales covering a substantial number of orders of magnitude (both in mass and in size), we feel the time is ripe to not only consider and talk about the credibility of the simulation technique but also about the methods of how to actually map the modeled density fields and its physical properties back onto observational quantities.

Traditionally this involves the utilization of “halo finders”, i.e. codes that mine the simulation data looking for gravitationally bound objects. These programs are nowadays equally sophisticated and come with their own intrinsic advantages and drawbacks. And while they have been primarily developed “on a side” tailored to suit the needs of individual simulation codes we now like to bring the experts in the fields under the same roof to discuss their methodologies.

During this workshop there will be presentations of the most commonly used halo finding techniques (spherical overdensity, friends-of-friends, phase-space finders, tessellation techniques, etc.), exchange of views on their applicability and - very importantly - hands-on sessions where various halo finders will be applied to the same data sets.

abstract: The International Seminar "Quarks-2010" is organized by the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences. "Quarks-2010" is the sixteenth in the series of seminars taking place every two years since 1980 in various historical and cultural places of Russia. The coming Seminar will take place near Kolomna, about 100km southeast of Moscow.

57.go to top of page[ID=324037]460. WE-Heraeus Seminar: Black Holes
07 Jun 2010 → 11 Jun 2010; Bad Honnef, Germany

abstract: The last decade has witnessed rapid progress in the astrophysical study of black holes. Observations have shown that many nearby galaxies host supermassive black holes at their centers, and have established an intimate link between the masses of the black holes and the properties of their host galaxies. Measurements in the high-energy X-ray regime have allowed us to study the conditions of matter in the immediate vicinity of black holes, and to probe down to scales very close to the actual event horizon of black holes. Breakthroughs in numerical relativity have made it possible, for the first time, to compute the merging of two supermassive black holes. Within the next ten years, ground-based gravitational wave detectors like LIGO and VIRGO will begin making regular observations of merging stellar-mass black holes out to redshifts of ~0.3, giving us our first-ever direct view of the black holes themselves. Future space-based observatories like IXO will measure X-rays from the first accreting massive black holes in the Universe, while LISA will detect gravitational waves from coalescing supermassive black hole binaries throughout the Universe. Gravitational wave and electromagnetic astronomy have previously been rather disjoint fields of research. A key goal of this seminar is to bring together researchers in these two fields, and to provide a forum for lively discussions, with an emphasis on the electromagnetic and gravitational wave signatures of strong gravity.

topics: Astrophysical observations and physics of black holes, and probes of strong gravity. Formation and growth of supermassive black holes across cosmic times, co-evolution of galaxies and black holes. Galaxy mergers, formation and coalescence of binary supermassive black holes. Gravitational wave emission from compact objects. Current and future ground- and space-based missions which are devoted to the study of gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation from (the environment of) black holes. Electromagnetic signatures of black hole binaries and recoiling black holes.

21 Jun 2010 → 25 Jun 2010; Nice, France

abstract: The purpose of IAU symposium 271 is to enable interaction, discussion, study, and thereby to enhance our understanding, of some of the important nonlinear dynamical processes present in the Universe, with special attention to those that are ubiquitously present in a great variety of astronomical objects, from stars like our Sun to galaxies. Such objects exhibit complex dynamical phenomena spanning a wide range of temporal and spatial scales, with fluid and magnetic instabilities, highly nonlinear states and turbulence playing a central role. Today, understanding the behaviour and evolution of such systems requires high-accuracy, multi-scale astronomical observations coupled with detailed theoretical study via models. In particular, high-performance numerical simulations have become an essential and revealing tool for assessing the often richly subtle and surprising highly nonlinear regime of such models. This symposium therefore will offer a unique opportunity for world experts with widely varying perspectives to share their knowledge and opinions on the latest advances in the study of the common underlying processes from the field of nonlinear astrophysical dynamics.

79.go to top of page[ID=324046]Progenitors and Environments of Stellar Explosions
28 Jun 2010 → 02 Jul 2010; Institut d'Astrophysique - Paris, Spain

abstract: A considerable amount of work has been devoted in recent years to the progenitors of the various types of stellar explosions, be it novae, supernovae or gamma-rays bursts. Theoreticians are actively exploring the different ingredients (mass, mass loss, metallicity, rotation, binarity, magnetic field) affecting the appearance of a massive star just before the time of its explosion (SNII, SNIb, SNIc, long gamma-ray burst), as well as the different pathways leading to explosions in binary systems (novae, SNIa, short gamma-ray burst). On the observationnal side, several progenitors of SNII have already been identified in deep HST images of their host galaxies and tantalizing hints on the role of metallicity in shaping the properties of SN types have been obtained recently. Reliable statistics for various SN frequencies as a function of type of the host galaxy have been established at low redshift and this type of work is currently extended to higher redshifts.

The general situation is expected to evolve rapidly, with the development of current and forthcoming surveys (SDSS, SN Factory, LAMOST, PAnnStars, Gaia and later the LSST), which will provide large, homogeneous, samples of SN. In such conditions, a Workshop on the aforementioned topic appears quite timely.

abstract: China has recently completed the construction of an important new instrument which will revolutionise the field of large spectroscopic surveys. The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) is an innovative quasi-meridian reflecting Schmidt Telescope capable of simultaneously securing spectra of 4,000 objects in a field of view of 5 degrees in diameter. The telescope, which is located at Xinglong Station operated by the National Astronomical Observatories (CAS), is currently undergoing commissioning with surveys due to commence in 2011.

As a consequence of this important development, KIAA-PKU will be hosting a Summer School and Workshop on the chemistry, dynamics and structure of the Milky Way. The School will consist of a two-week long series of lectures, given by some of the most distinguished academics in the field. Following the School we will hold a one-week Workshop, where many of the leading researchers will come together to present their latest results. We will allow a significant amount of time for discussions, in order to encourage interaction between the Workshop participants and also the younger researcher who are attending the School. This Summer School and Workshop will train young scientists in this diverse field and promote collaboration for future partnerships.

18 Jul 2010 → 25 Jul 2010; Bremen (Germany), Germany

abstract: Variability has been and still is a key issue in AGN science and extragalactic astrophysics. Simultaneous multiwavelength observations of changes in the radiation emission from AGN are of paramount importance in understanding the nature and the evolution of these sources, to break the spectral degeneracy, and to find correlations between different emission components. The recent discovery of very short time variability - on minutes timescales - at TeV energies by HESS and MAGIC is a hot topic.

Present and forthcoming high-energy satellites (Fermi, AGILE, Swift, INTEGRAL, XMM-Newton, Chandra, Suzaku and the planned missions like NuStar, EXIST, Astro-H, IXO and many others) will play a crucial role in studying the variability at different energies (optical to X- and gamma-rays) and timescales.

In the low energy band (radio) a large improvement will come from the VLBI from space, which is expected to improve our knowledge of the physical conditions in the central SMBH and in the accretion disk regions. Both the Japanese satellite VSOP2 and the Russion satellite RADIOASTRON are expected to provide, in collaboration with ground-based radio telescopes, images at micro-arcsecond scales.

A comparison between multiwavelength observations from gamma-rays to radio bands will offer the unique opportunity to discuss

23 Aug 2010 → 27 Aug 2010; Observatoire de Haute Provence, Saint Michel l'Obs, France

abstract: In the decade since the first detection of an exoplanetary transit, more than 60 transiting exoplanets have been discovered and characterized, using both ground-based and space-based observations. A few systems including a transiting planet have also been discovered, providing precise data that can be used for dynamical modelling and for investigating the processes of planet formation and migration. Observations of transits provide not only fundamental parameters of the planet, but also the relative inclination between the orbit and the stellar rotation axis, which offers additional constraints on formation and migration scenarios. The Colloquium "Detection and dynamics of transiting exoplanets" is intended to review all the observed characteristics of transiting systems, and all theoretical works related to the measured properties.

topics: masses and radii of transiting planets, internal structure modelling, observed inclination and eccentricity of transiting systems, dynamics of systems, links from observations to theory, formation and migration scenarios, observations and modelling of transit timing variations, star-planet interactions in transiting systems: tides, irradiation, future observational projects

07 Sep 2010 → 10 Sep 2010; Exeter, United States

abstract: Planetary atmospheres are complex and evolving entities, as mankind is rapidly coming to realise whilst attempting to understand, forecast and mitigate human-induced climate change. In the Solar System, our neighbours Venus and Mars provide striking examples of two endpoints of planetary evolution, runaway greenhouse and loss of atmosphere to space.

The variety of extra-solar planets brings a wider angle to the issue: from scorching 'hot jupiters'' to ocean worlds, exoatmospheres explore many configurations unknown in the Solar System, such as iron clouds, silicate rains, extreme plate tectonics, and steam volcanoes. Exoplanetary atmospheres have recently become accessible to observations. The aim of this conference in Exeter is to bring together Earth, Solar System and Exoplanet specialists to discuss recent results and the way ahead, and put our own climate in the wider context of the trials and tribulations of planetary atmospheres.

topics: Atmosphere observations, Gas giant atmosphere models, Solar System, Earth climate history, Comparative planetology: Mars-Earth-Venus-Titan, Ocean planets, super-Earths, lava planets, Using GCM for exotic planets, Living atmospheres, Atmosphere evolution and life on eoplanets, Long term climate/society coevolution

abstract: The time is now ripe to start a detailed comparison of all sources containing jets such as Microquasars, Active Galactic Nuclei, and Gamma-Ray Bursts. Both deep theoretical and observational insights can result from an inter-disciplinary discussion of the fundamental physics underlying the different objects and phenomena. The Symposium is aimed at putting the various communities devoted to the study of relativistic jets in closer contact. The past two workshops, both titled "Microquasars and Beyond", have shown that this approach can be very fruitful and that such an exchange would contribute significantly to the advance of the field. Now it is time to go a step further and to organize an international Symposium to deal in depth with jet physics and phenomenology at all scales.

04 Oct 2010 → 09 Oct 2010; Kislovodsk, Russia

abstract: Recent programs of site selection for large telescopes, needs to support adaptive optics and interferometry, and studies of Antarctic sites created a large momentum in this field. The progress is fast, new results are coming almost weekly. Recent conferences on this subject (2007, 2008) demonstrated great interest of the community, hence the need for a new meeting. The proposed schedule (fall 2010) relates to the completion of the major programs (TMT, E-ELT, GMT), with lessons from these efforts to be learned by others. The appearance of the MASS method in 2000 played a significant role in the current developments, and now, 10 years later, it is the good time to evaluate its strengths and weaknesses and to outline future directions. The group of V.Kornilov is pivotal in MASS development. The conference will be located close to the robotic Caucasus site-testing station developed by SAI and will highlight the work of this group. The proximity of the Russian 6-m telescope and touristic attractions of the Caucasus region will favor an entertaining and informative cultural program for this conference. Unlike previous recent conferences, this meeting will cover all aspects of site monitoring for optical/IR astronomy. The meeting will define the most promising techniques for measuring water vapor content, dust, light pollution, etc.

10 Oct 2010 → 15 Oct 2010; Eilat, Israel
organizer: Weizmann Institute of Science

abstract: Hard and electromagnetic probes play a key role in the study of the strongly interacting matter created in high energy heavy-ion collisions. Recent new measurements and theoretical developments have resulted in significant progress and incisive understanding of the properties of hot QCD matter. Hard probes will play a central role in upcoming RHIC runs as well as in the LHC heavy-ion program that is now getting under way.

The biannual "Hard Probes" series is among the leading conferences in the field of high-energy heavy-ion physics, providing a forum for in-depth discussion of hard and electromagnetic probes and related topics in a moderate-sized meeting.

144.go to top of page[ID=323865]The Origin of Stellar Masses
18 Oct 2010 → 22 Oct 2010; Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain

abstract: Stars are one of the fundamental building blocks of the Universe: the source of most of the chemical elements, a crucial ingredient in the formation and evolution of galaxies, the progenitors of supernovae, gamma ray bursts, and black holes, the hosts of planetary systems, and the sustainer of life. In some ways, stars are relatively simple objects; the evolution and fate of a star is almost uniquely determined by its mass. However, the formation of a star is anything but simple, involving a complex interplay between gravity, hydrodynamics, magnetic fields, radiation transport, and chemistry. Great progress has been made in delineating the roles of these physical processes through theory and observations, but a fundamental mystery remains, one of the most important questions in astronomy. What determines the masses of stars and how does the distribution of stellar masses arise, the so-called Initial Mass Function (IMF)?

We expect that progress in answering this question will accelerate with the advent of several new instruments operating at (sub-)mm wavelengths and the increasing ability for numerical models to include the relevant physics. The Herschel Space Observatory has just begun science observations, SCUBA-2 on the JCMT has just become operational, and the first early science observations with ALMA should be made in the year following this meeting. On the theoretical side, hydrodynamical simulations of star formation have been able to begin including magnetic fields, radiation transport, and chemistry.

In recognition of the fact that this field is highly active with many young researchers, there will be an emphasis on talks given by young researchers and the programme will include ample time for discussion led by panels of experience researchers.
