CL2025: Entering a Golden Age of Galaxy Cluster Studies<br>
The First East Asian Workshop on Galaxy Clusters<br>
<br>
September 23-26, 2025<br>
Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Academia Sinica (ASIAA), Taipei, Taiwan<br>
<br>
<a href="https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/Z27pCXLW2mUODyg59f6fwfWvmAh?domain=events.asiaa.sinica.edu.tw">https://events.asiaa.sinica.edu.tw/workshop/20250923/index.php</a><br>
<br>
<br>
*** Scientific rationale<br>
<br>
With the rich datasets delivered by ongoing and upcoming large-scale<br>
imaging and spectroscopic surveys such as Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam<br>
(HSC) survey, Dark Energy Survey, Kilo-Degree Survey, Legacy Survey of<br>
Space and Time (LSST), Euclid, Roman, Dark Energy Spectroscopic<br>
Instrument (DESI), Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS), eROSITA, South Pole<br>
Telescope, Simons Observatory, CMB-S4, we are entering a golden age<br>
for studying all aspects of galaxy clusters -- from cosmological<br>
constraints, rise and fall of star formation activities of cluster<br>
galaxies, physics of intracluster medium, role of cosmic filaments in<br>
cluster formation, to properties of dark matter, only to name a few.<br>
<br>
The primary purpose of this new series of workshops is to gather<br>
researchers from all over the world -- with an emphasis on East Asian<br>
regions -- to share the latest findings, discuss novel approaches, and<br>
form new collaborations. The first installment will be held at the<br>
Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Academia Sinica (ASIAA) in<br>
Taipei, Taiwan, on 9/23-26/2025. During the 4-day workshop, we will<br>
have high-quality invited and contributed talks, poster presentations,<br>
3 hour-long discussion sessions, and a half-day free time for further<br>
interactions. All the talks in the workshop will be in person,<br>
although we might be able to broadcast the talks.<br>
<br>
The topics to be covered include (but not limited to):<br>
* Star formation and AGN activities in clusters and groups<br>
* Gas inflows and outflows and feedback<br>
* Roles of cosmic filaments and groups on properties of gas and galaxies<br>
* Quenching of galaxies and their dependencies on mass and environment<br>
* Mass assembly of clusters and the formation of BCGs and ICL<br>
* Circum-galactic medium of galaxies in clusters/groups<br>
* Hot side of clusters<br>
* Custer mass estimates and scaling relations<br>
* Dark matter properties<br>
* Status of ongoing surveys and prospects of future projects<br>
<br>
We plan to hold the workshop series in Taiwan, Japan, and Korea every 1-2 years.<br>
