The Non-Sleeping Universe: Stars and the ISM
24-26 November 1997

Centro de Astrofísica da Universidade do Porto
Porto, Portugal


PROGRAMME


The aim of this conference is to bring together astronomers interested in several aspects of "non-sleepiness" at stellar and interstellar scales. Topics include:

Our aim, in gathering astronomers involved in studying different aspects of the "non-sleeping universe", is an attempt to establish a favourable environment for new ideas and views to surface. Many of these aspects are topics of research at the Centre for Astrophysics of the University of Porto, therefore providing one of the motivations for organizing such a conference.

The conference lasts two and a half days.

Please, see the specifications for the contributions included in the programme.

The Programme is the following ([IS] - Invited Speaker):
