*First Announcement*
Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the International Astronomical Union Symposium 398
“Compact Objects and Binaries in Dense Stellar Systems” which will take place
June 16-20, 2025, in Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea. This meeting will
also be held as MODEST-25, annual workshop series for Modeling and Observing
Dense Stellar Systems.
This symposium is intended to discuss the astrophysical origin of gravitational
waves and to establish connections between theoretical and observational data
concerning dynamics, populations, binaries, multiples, compact objects
(including binaries containing them) in dense star clusters. Star clusters serve
as dynamical factories for all these intriguing objects, and these topics are
inherently interconnected. For instance, cluster dynamics and the evolution of
single and binary stars are closely intertwined, leading to different scenarios
compared to those in the galactic field. We believe that the year 2025 is an
appropriate time to delve into the topic of star clusters and the roles of
compact objects. This timing aligns with the release of significant results from
the fourth observing run of LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA, which should provide crucial new
constraints on the formation of gravitational wave sources. Additionally,
numerous new discoveries of globular cluster pulsars are expected from large
radio facilities such as MeerKAT, ASKving DeAP, FAST, and others. New computer
codes for dynamical simulations of dense star clusters are also emerging, and
this symposium offers an excellent opportunity to discuss the latest results
based on these codes.
