[MODEST] MODEST-19

[Vesperini, Enrico]

Dear Colleagues,

IAU has recently announced that a proposal for  a IAU Symposium on 'Star Clusters: from the Milky Way to the Early Universe' has been approved. The Symposium will be held in Bologna (Italy) 27-31 May 2019.

We attach below some information about the key topics and the SOC.


We propose that this Symposium be the MODEST-19 meeting.


We will send another message to this list when preliminary registration is open.

Best regards
Enrico Vesperini and Angela Bragaglia

Key Topics:

* Formation and evolution of globular clusters at high and low-redshift
? Multiple stellar populations in stellar clusters
? Dynamics and evolution stellar content and exotic populations (BHs,gravitational waves sources, compact remnants and X-ray sources) of massive clusters
? Links between globular clusters, massive open clusters, young massive clusters, nuclear star clusters, ultra-faint dwarfs, ultra-compact dwarfs, and dwarf galaxies
? Globular clusters and satellite systems in the Local Group and beyond
? Extragalactic globular clusters: constraints on the formation and evolution from integrated light and integrated spectroscopy
? Star clusters and dwarfs as building blocks of galactic halos
? The Gaia revolution for star clusters
? Galactic archeology with ongoing and future large surveys
? The future instrumentation from the ground and space
