ESA Science & Technology - 2nd European School on Jets from Young Stars: High Angular Resolution Observations

Start date: 05 Sep 2006
Address: Marciana Marina, Elba Island, Italy

The aim of this school is to provide the attendees with a background in modern High Angular Resolution observational astrophysics, illustrating how top-quality results have been and can be obtained for the environment of Young Stellar Objects (YSOs). The lecture program includes presentations on:

• observing from space with HST and in the future with JWST
• observing from the ground with Adaptive Optics
• use of Interferometers at millimeter and infrared wavelengths
• Spectro-astrometry

Image analysis and spectral diagnostic procedures to interpret the data will also be discussed. A special session on HAR studies of the inner regions of circumstellar disks, which play a fundamental role in jet launching, is also foreseen. Finally, two sessions on writing papers and proposals as well as developing public outreach skills will be provided.
