    Galactic & Stellar Dynamics - in the era of high resolution surveys

    Event Details:
    From: 16 Mar 2008  
    To: 20 Mar 2008  
    Address: European Doctoral College
    University Louis Pasteur
    Strasbourg
    Country: France
    More info: Link to event website

    Current and forthcoming high spatial-resolution spectro-photometric surveys (FLAMES/Giraffe, RAVE, SAURON, MUSE) in parallel with dedicated computer technology allow for new strides in our understanding of the workings of galaxies, from their dense nucleus to their broad morphology. The future Gaia mission will map out the entire Milky Way with micro-arcsecond astrometric precision.

    The overall goal of this meeting will be to establish a framework for the next few years for research in galactic astronomy at high-spatial resolution.

    Topics covered at this meeting are:

    • The stellar (I)MF and ISM in the local Universe 
      Solar neighbourhood, local star forming regions & associations
    • Dynamics & Evolution in Our and Nearby Galaxies
      Bulges & massive black holes,  bars, disks, spiral arms, globular cluster systems
    • Dynamics of (Nearby) Galaxy Mergers
      Modelling, low-z mergers & remnants, star forming regions, tidal dwarfs & ellipticals, massive young clusters
    • Populations,  Dynamics &  Stellar Evolution
      Milky way surveys, GAIA, streams, dwarf galaxies
    • Instrumentation and Computing
      Current & Future Missions, Computational Technology
