[ASA] 1st Announcement Conference “Multiwavelength Dissection of Galaxies”, 24-29 May 2015 , Sydney

[Angel R. Lopez-Sanchez]

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

“Multiwavelength Dissection of Galaxies”
24 - 29th May 2015
Sydney, Australia

We are pleased to announce the eighth meeting in the Southern Cross
Astrophysics Conference series, entitled "Multiwavelength dissection of
galaxies". This conference, which will be held in Coogee Beach, Sydney,
Australia, between 24 - 29 May 2015, will focus on galaxy evolution,
combining resolved optical/near-infrared integral field spectroscopy (IFS)
data with other multiwavelength (from radio to X-rays) properties of
nearby galaxies, and bringing these together with what is known in our
Milky Way. This Conference expects to combine observations and the best
available theoretical models to create a more complete picture of how
galaxies, and in particular our Milky Way, formed and evolved.

The Southern Cross Astrophysics Conferences, which are jointly supported
by the Australian Astronomical Observatory (AAO) and CSIRO Astronomy and
Space Science (CASS), are held annually around Australia with the aim of
attracting international experts with wide ranging skills to discuss a
particular astrophysical topic.
