Register for the 3rd Annual GMT Community Science Meeting
Crystal Tinch American Astronomical Society (AAS)
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 meeting will be held at the Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove, California, 1-3 October 2015.
For more information, please visit the GMT conference webpage. The registration deadline is 1 September 2015, and the abstract-submission deadline for contributed talks is 1 July 2015. Space is limited.
