[ASA] KASC6 Early-bird, abstracts, and invited speakers

[Dennis Stello]

- EXTENDED EARLY-BIRD FEE DEADLINE:

Due to the slight delay in opening registration for the KASC6
conference, to be held 23-28 June in Sydney, it has been decided to
extend the Early-bird registration fee deadline by two weeks, to April
14.  Follow the link on kasc6.com

- ABSTRACT SUBMISSION & DEADLINE:

Note that the April 14 date coincides with the deadline for abstract
submissions, and we encourage you to submit your abstract(s) at your
earliest convenience.

- PROGRAMME & INVITED SPEAKERS:

There will be sessions devoted to: solar-type stars; stellar activity
and rotation; red giants; stellar population studies and large
surveys; binaries and clusters; compact pulsators, and classical
pulsators.

The SOC is still finalizing the list of invited speakers. We can
already reveal the following confirmed invited speakers:

Hans Kjeldsen (KASC in the Extended Mission);
Marc Pinsonneault (Future challenges and opportunities with Kepler);
Dave Soderblom (Estimation of ages of stars);
Ken Freeman (Stellar population studies and Kepler asteroseismology);
Laurent Gizon (PLATO2.0);
Mike Ireland (The future of ground-based observations in the Kepler era);
Benoit Mosser (Asteroseismology of red giants with Kepler);
Daniel Huber (Asteroseismology of Kepler exoplanet host stars);
Jennifer Johnson (APOGEE, and the APOKASC collaboration);
Victor Silva Aguirre (Tests of stellar interior physics with Kepler);
Rafael Garcia (Estimation of stellar rotation periods from Kepler data);
Travis Metcalfe (Stellar activity studies with Kepler);
Karsten Brogaard (Cluster studies with Kepler);
Jim Fuller (Theory of tidally excited oscillations and tidal interactions);
JJ Hermes (Asteroseismology of compact pulsators);
