[ASA] The 2015 Australian Gemini, Magellan, and Keck Science Symposium

[Australian Gemini Office]

      The 2015 Australian Gemini, Magellan, and Keck Science Symposium


The AAO's International Telescopes Support Office (ITSO) and Astronomy 
Australia Limited are pleased to announce the 2015 Australian Gemini, 
Magellan, and Keck Science Symposium. Following the first very 
successful Australian Gemini and Magellan science symposium in 2012, 
ITSO will host a similar event on 21 & 22 May 2015 at the AAO 
headquarters in North Ryde, Sydney. This meeting will also feature 
Australian science being conducted with the Keck telescopes, in 
recognition of the fact that our users at Swinburne University of 
Technology as well as at the Australian National University already 
enjoy access to these telescopes, as will the entire Australian 
community from 2016. Participants will also be introduced to the full 
“smorgasbord” of instrumentation they will have access to on Gemini, 
Magellan, and Keck from next year, and there will be discussions about 
how best to exploit the 40 nights per year of Australian Keck time.

The Symposium will feature invited and contributed talks from leading 
Australian users of the Gemini, Magellan, and Keck telescopes and is 
open to everyone, not just current users. Students and early-career 
researchers in particular are encouraged to attend. There will be no 
registration fee, and lunch, morning and afternoon teas will be 
provided. To register, please click on the "Registration" tab at:

http://www.aao.gov.au/conference/itso-symposium-2015

The deadline for registration is Friday 8 May 2015.

Note that the Symposium precedes the Southern Cross conference from 
24-29 May in Sydney on "Multiwavelength Dissection of Galaxies" 
(http://www.aao.gov.au/conference/multiwavelength-dissection-of-galaxies) and 
everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate in both meetings if 
they can.

Please direct any enquiries to ausgo at aao.gov.au.
