(re)Solving Galaxies in the Era of Extremely Large Telescopes

For the last 15 years, resolved stellar populations of nearby galaxies have rivaled distant galaxies in terms of their return on our understanding of both dark matter and galaxy formation. A new generation of sky surveys and giant telescopes will open a new window on the nearby, as well as the distant, Universe.

The Giant Magellan Telescope Organization is hosting a three-day conference on the topics of resolved stellar populations and galaxy formation. Scientists from around the world will gather to discuss the state of the field in topics ranging from using galaxies as cosmological probes, near-field and far-field connections, and galactic archeology.

The registration deadline is 1 September 2015. The abstract submission deadline for contributed talks is 1 July 2015. Space is limited.
