<br>
<p>Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
ACAMAR, the Australia-China Consortium for Astrophysics Research
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/NOdSCQnMBZfkARKl0SMwVVs?domain=acamar.org.au" moz-do-not-send="true">https://acamar.org.au</a>), is
sponsoring a three-day workshop on the <i>Future of Traditional
Survey Science</i>, to be held online on 22, 23 and 24
September 2021: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/vXIFCP7LAXfKG62NpS0dDkg?domain=ftss2021.casconf.cn" moz-do-not-send="true">https://ftss2021.casconf.cn</a><br>
<br>
Optical and near-infrared astronomy is now truly in a transition
phase from small-team projects to large-scale mega-surveys.
Australian and Chinese colleagues are ideally placed to take
advantage of these developments, which could have an ever
greater impact if we combined forces to pursue the most exciting
opportunities where complementary expertise is available among
the partners. Current facilities and ongoing photometric and
spectroscopic surveys in China and Australia, as well as those
accessible internationally to both communities, offer exciting
prospects for major new insights into stellar and galactic
properties across time and space.<br>
<br>
This three-day virtual workshop aims to familiarise researchers
from both partner countries with each other's expertise and
research interests, thus leveraging our joint strengths to
achieve more than the simple sum of our research efforts. In
practical terms, the software and database tools we need to make
the data accessible to both communities will feature
prominently, as will developments regarding future
instrumentation needs.<br>
<br>
<u><i>Topics will include</i></u>:<br>
<br>
1. Spectroscopy: GALAH+ (Australia); LAMOST (China); 4MOST
(Australia, international); SDSS, DESI (international)<br>
<br>
2. Time domain: Vera Rubin Observatory/LSST (Australia);
50BiN/SONG (China); TESS (international)<br>
<br>
3. Extremely Large Telescopes: GMT (Australia); TMT, C30 (China)<br>
<br>
4. Future ground-based facilities: 6.5m/12m telescopes (China),
2.5m WFST (USTC/PMO), 1.6m Mephisto telescope (YNU):
multi-colour optical/NIR photometric surveys (China)<br>
<br>
5. Future space facilities: Chinese Space Telescope (UV–optical
sky survey); JWST, Euclid, Nancy Roman Space Telescope
(international)<br>
<br>
Important dates: <br>
- <b>20 August 2021</b>: <i><b>Deadline for submission of
abstracts</b></i><br>
- 3 September 2021: Workshop programme released<br>
- <b>21 September 2021</b>: <i><b>Workshop registration
deadline</b></i><br>
