The 7th Torino Workshop on Nucleosynthesis in AGB Stars
2nd - 6th August 2004
Dedicated to the memory of Manuel Forestini
Hosted by Churchill College and the Institute of Astronomy,
University of Cambridge
Local organising committee:
Christopher Tout, Maria Lugaro, John Eldridge, Richard Stancliffe
|
Scientific organising committee:
Christopher Tout (Cambridge), Maria Lugaro (Cambridge),
John Lattanzio (Monash University, Australia), Roberto Gallino
(Torino, Italy),
Joachim Goerres (JINA, University of Notre Dame, USA)
|
Participation:
Participation IS LIMITED TO ABOUT 30 PEOPLE to ensure the greatest
interaction among all participants. Hence it is important that
you LET US KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE if you or anyone in your group
are interested in attending by email to Maria Lugaro at mal@ast.cam.ac.uk.
|
Funding:
We would like to cover all the local expenses for all the
participants. To this aim we need to collect about 15,000 pounds (1
pound = 1.43 euro = 1.70 US$). Currently we have collected 8,000 pounds
from the Institute of Astronomy, the Joint Institute for Nuclear
Astrophysics (JINA), Churchill College and the Royal
Astronomical Society. We also have applied for support from the
American Astronomical Society and the Royal Commission for the
Exhibition of 1851. Please let us know if you or your institution can
help sponsoring the workshop.
|
Scientific Program:
Major topics to be discussed include theoretical
modelling of the evolution and nucleosynthesis in AGB and post-AGB
Stars, stellar observations and meteoritic presolar grain data and the
impact of AGB stars on the Galactic Chemical Evolution. Each
participant is strongly encouraged to present a detailed description of
their work. We will uphold the tradition of extensive discussion during
and after presentations.
|
Social Activities:
To maintain coherence of the group we shall live and
eat together in Churchill College. Accomodation is provided in spacious
student rooms. There will be opportunities to visit the rest of the
city and for punting on the river Cam as well as something further
afield such as visit to a local brewery.
