Final announcement:
The IAU Symposium 272 will be dedicated to discussion of the structure,
evolution, mass loss, and critical limits of active early-type stars. We expect
that the meeting will allow fruitful exchange by bringing together scientists
working in the fields of O, B, β Cep, SPB, Bp, Be, B[e], and Herbig Be
stars, at wavelengths that span the electromagnetic spectrum (especially X-ray,
UV, optical, and IR) with emphasis on forefront observational techniques (e.g.
spectropolarimetry, interferometry, asteroseismology).
The key topics of the IAU Symposium 272 are:
-
the internal structure of active OB stars
-
their evolution
-
their circumstellar environment
-
active OB stars as extreme condition test beds
-
'normal' OB stars as calibrators
-
populations of OB stars
The IAU Symposium 272 will be held in Paris from July 19 to 23, 2010.
The DEADLINE for registration to the symposium, abstract submission, and
registration to social events at
http://iaus272.obspm.fr
is VERY SOON:
*** JUNE 1 ***
The symposium is co-sponsored by the Ile de France region, IAU, INSU, the
Ministry for High Education and Research, PNPS, the GEPI laboratory, the Paris
Observatory, A&A, and EDP Sciences.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Paris in July!
