Dear colleagues,
Find enclosed the First Announcement of the IAU Symposium 395 on Stellar Populations. It will take place in the historic beach town of Paraty, Brazil, from 17 – 22/November/2024.
The Scientific topics include:
- The Galactic halo populations: chemical composition and kinematics of in situ and accreted stars; halo globular clusters.
- The populations of the inner Galaxy: bulge, halo, disk, bar and mixed populations from spectroscopic and photometric surveys; bulge stellar clusters.
- The Galactic disk populations: chemical composition and kinematics of thick and thin disk stars; open clusters; tracers of present-day abundances.
- Gaia DR3; spectroscopic and photometric surveys for the study of stellar populations.
- Methods for the determination of atmospheric stellar parameters and chemical abundances. Spectral libraries for population synthesis.
- Chemical evolution of Milky Way-like galaxies from cosmological simulations.
- Resolved and unresolved extragalactic stellar populations.
- New developments in astronomical instrumentation for stellar populations studies.
Registration and abstract submission will open on February 1st (deadline 17/April/2024). More information in the enclosed announcement and at the website: https://iaus395.iag.usp.br/
We would be grateful if you could distribute this announcement to interested colleagues.
Best regards
