[MODEST] Announcement for MODEST-16 NYC: A conference on gas and gravitational dynamics

[Nathan Leigh]

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the upcoming MODEST-16 NYC meeting, to be held from September 6-9, 2016 at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.  The focus of the conference will be the interplay between gas and stars in dense stellar systems (star clusters, dwarf galaxies, UCDs, galactic nuclei) and related processes (such as star formation, galaxy formation/evolution, black hole growth/accretion/dynamics, etc.) with an emphasis on the development of theoretical models, in particular numerical techniques.

The conference website, including more details regarding the science content for the conference, can be found here:  http://www.amnh.org/our-research/physical-sciences/astrophysics/events/modest-16-nyc.

Abstracts can be submitted here:  http://www.amnh.org/our-research/physical-sciences/astrophysics/events/modest-16-nyc/abstract-submission.

For full consideration from the SOC, all abstracts must be submitted on or before May 31, 2016.  The SOC will then review the submitted abstracts, and decide on a provisional program by June 30, 2016.  Participants will then be notified regarding the status of their submitted abstract.  Early registration begins on July 1, 2016.

Please forward this announcement along to the appropriate department within your respective institutions, or to any other colleagues you feel might be interested.  We look forward to seeing you at the upcoming MODEST-16 NYC meeting!

Kindest regards,

Nathan Leigh
