From cbrogan at nrao.edu Tue Jan 2 15:50:11 2007 From: cbrogan at nrao.edu (Crystal Brogan) Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2007 15:50:11 -0500 (EST) Subject: [asac] [almanews] ALMA: Through Disks to Stars and Planets Message-ID: Dear Colleague, On June 22-24, 2007, the North American ALMA Science Center (NAASC) at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and the University of Virginia will sponsor a workshop in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA entitled "Transformational Science with ALMA: Through Disks to Stars and Planets". ****************************************************************** Focus ****************************************************************** The focus of the meeting will be to discuss how ALMA will impact our understanding in several key areas of disk formation and evolution including: * Cores, Fragmentation and the Earliest Observable Stages of Protostellar Disks * The Disk*Envelope*Outflow Connection * Low and High Mass Disk Structure * Disk Chemistry, Kinematics, Isotopic Anomalies, Grain Growth, and Sedimentation * Flaring, Spiral Density Waves, Turbulence, and Magnetic Fields in Protostellar Disks * Planet Formation: Fragmentation and Gaps * Debris Disks * Synergy between ALMA and Upcoming Optical, Infrared, and Radio Facilities on studies of disks It is our hope that the meeting will generate extensive discussion and new ideas of how ALMA may be used to transform our understanding of protostellar, protoplanetary, and debris disks. Toward this goal we are inviting very few speakers in the traditional sense, but instead are requesting abstract proposals to give a talk from a set of "wish list" topics or an alternative ALMA focused disk topic of your choice (either as a contributed talk or poster). More information is available at http://www.cv.nrao.edu/naasc/disk07.html Pre-registration and Abstract submission is now available (as of Jan. 2) and will continue until February 28, 2007. ****************************************************************** Venue ****************************************************************** The workshop will be held at the newly renovated NRAO headquarters and home of the NAASC at 520 Edgemont Rd, Charlottesville, Virginia, USA. NRAO is located on the western side of the beautiful University of Virginia campus. Information on lodging and reservations will be available soon. ****************************************************************** Workshop Size and Registration ****************************************************************** Due to the venue size, workshop attendance will be limited to about 70 participants, on a first come first served basis, after completion of full registration which will begin March 15, 2007. The registration fee will be $150 US, and will include lunch on all three days of the meeting as well as a reception. More details will be available when full registration opens. ******************************************************************* Frontiers of Astrophysics: A Celebration of NRAO's 50th Anniversary ******************************************************************* The disk workshop will take place directly after the NRAO 50th Anniversary meeting which will also take place in Charlottesville, VA June 17-21. ****************************************************************** On behalf of the SOC and LOC we look forward to seeing you in Charlottesville. Please forward to colleagues and students who may not be on our mailing lists. Future mailings will only be sent to those who have pre-registered. We apologize if you receive this announcement more than once.

This means that, at the regular 1430 UT time, it will conflict with the monthly SSR meeting, which some of our number attend. May we move it to 1400 UT to avoid this conflict? I am not aware of changes in the state of charges from the Board, or of the response to the last report. I expect something to occur at the Board telecon to be held 18 Jan.

There will be a discussion at the Jan 18 baord telecon. Of more immediate relevance, I was reminded that the Board now expects us to give our report to the JAO sufficiently in advance of the Board meeting to allow the JAO to prepare a written response. Hence, the Board requests that our written report be received no later than Monday May 28! The dates in the 20's of May are not viable with this report schedule. Please concentrate your attention on the May 7-11 dates. best regards, Lee From schilke at mpifr-bonn.mpg.de Mon Jan 15 09:39:05 2007 From: schilke at mpifr-bonn.mpg.de (Peter Schilke) Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2007 15:39:05 +0100 Subject: [asac] Dates for Sprint 2007 Face-to-face meeting in Tokyo In-Reply-To: References: <17829.83.315889.728402@polaris.cv.nrao.edu> Message-ID: <45AB9209.1000805@mpifr-bonn.mpg.de> Lee G.

I could try to attend the ASAC meeting if the dates are after, at least, the last week of April (say starting the ASAC meeting on April 30 -monday-).
