Objective and Scope:
The objective of the school/seminar is to promote education and
research in planetary sciences for highly motivated graduate
students and young researchers by providing them with an opportunity
to interact with leading scientists in a specific field. Note that
the term “Planetary Sciences”is used in a broader sense to
include astronomy, astrophysics, astrochemistry, astrobiology,
astromineralogy, geosciences, space science, cosmology, and
other related fields.
The eighth school is jointly held with the Asian Academic Seminar
hosted by JSPS, Japan, and DST, India, for providing Asian
young researchers with intensive training in areas of Astronomy
and Space Science. The seminars comprise lectures by experts
in the subject fields, discussions, practical training, study
visits and other components.
Topic of the coming school:
Challenges in Astronomy: Observational Advances
The main part of the school will be a series of lectures on 'Recent and
Future Advances in Observational Astronomy.' The observational part of
astronomy has revealed various, important phenomena in the Universe
collaborating with theoretical works, and advancing fronts in
well-established parts, e.g., optical-infrared, radio, high-energy
radiations.
Furthermore, the gravitational wave is expected to be detected in near
future, and the advancement of “virtual observatory” would enable
astronomers to conduct multi-wavelength data-incentive research, as the
4th paradigm in astronomy. Young astronomers are expected to learn
about world-wide trend for constructing a wider and concrete base of
their own research.
Lectures:
Internationally well-established experts in various fields will review
recent progress in our understandings of those fields. The lecturers
and their topics (tentative) are listed below:
1. David Bennett (Univ. Notre Dame, France), Exoplanet Detection by
Gravitational Microlensing
2. Sebastian Wolf (Univ. of Kiel, Germany), Protoplanetary & Debris Disks
3. A. Subramaniam (IIA, India), Optical Astronomy
4. Ajit Kembhavi (IUCAA, India), Virtual Observatory
Masatoshi Ohishi (NAOJ, Japan), Virtual Observatory
5. Jayaram Chengalur (NCRA/TIFR, India), GMRT & Radio Astronomy
6. Hideyo Kunieda (Nagoya Univ., Japan), X-ray Astronomy
7. Nobuyuki Kanda (Osaka City Univ., Japan), Gravitational-Wave Astronomy
All the lectures are to be video-recorded and to be available to the
public through the CPS website. Lecture materials are to be uploaded
by each lecturer in PDF format to the CPS server by 14 September 2011
so that they could be viewed on the same website.
