Tue, 05 Dec 2006 07:32:12 +0100 http://www.eneas.info/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=53 Joint HELAS and CoRoT/ESTA Workshop 20-23 November 2006, CAUP, Porto - Portugal http://www.astro.up.pt/investigacao/conferencias/hce2006/ or http://www.astro.up.pt/corot/welcome/meetings/m7/ * Scientific Rational: Stars are the primary visual constituents of the Universe and are also the source of chemical enrichment with important implications for galactic evolution including our Milky Way. Ground- and space-based missions for detecting the seismic signals of stars are becoming increasingly important tools to advance our understanding of the physics, structure and evolution of stars. With more and more accurate seismic data, stellar models are playing a key role for inferring a more detailed picture of the physical processes ongoing in real stars of varying types. This meeting is part of a larger effort to join forces among the stellar model builder community to take full advantage of current and future seismic data. The primary focus of this meeting will be on element diffusion in stars. The aim of the meeting is to extend the model and frequency comparisons taking place under the CoRoT/ESTA work towards the development and optimisation of evolution and seismic codes. This workshop follows on previous efforts of the CoRoT/ESTA Team. Its primary objectives are to advance the comparisons of frequencies and models with diffusion as proposed under Task 2 (frequency comparisons) and Task 3 (model comparisons including diffusion). The format of the workshop is chosen to maximise the interaction between the attendants and to foster an atmosphere conductive to discussion. Therefore, contributed talks on open issues are especially encouraged. In addition to the oral contributions (and maybe also posters) ample time will be reserved for actual working sessions. Consequently it is expected to be limited to a maximum number of participants. The workshop starts on Monday, November 20th at 9 o'clock in the morning and ends on Thursday, November 23rd at noon. Registration is now open to all colleagues and financial support may be available from the European Helio- and Asteroseismology Network (HELAS). Further details on the programme will be released soon. * Important dates: October, 30th - Financial support request deadline November, 6th - Registration deadline November, 13th - Contributed talks/posters abstract submission deadline * Contact : helas2006@astro.up.pt * Organisers Mario J.P.F.G.

This movie tells the story behind the paper: Asteroseismology of HD 129929: Core Overshooting and Nonrigid Rotation, published in Science, 2003, Vol. 300, 1926-1928. The movie has now been selected for 'Scinema', Australia's international festival of science film. If you happen to be in Sydney on August 19th 2006, you can go to the screening and watch the movie at 12h30 in the Powerhouse museum and maybe witness the asteroseismology film winning an award (no best actor awards, I'm afraid...).

Participants are allowed to bring along with them unregistered posters as well, besides the accepted ones. The editors of the Proceedings will decide during the meeting whether these contributions merit publication or not, keeping in mind the available page number agreed with the publishers. Also, in the case of large overlap between the contents of your talk and poster, you will be asked by the chief editor (Chris Sterken) to merge your two papers into one. You will receive this feedback during the meeting. As you will notice in the programme, the Scientific Organising Committee will award a prize for the best student talk as well as the best poster. We look forward to see you all in Pécs! Conny Aerts, on behalf of the SOC. For more information, click {here} Thu, 27 Oct 2005 09:52:20 +0200
