[ASA] Second announcement: “The Renaissance of the Low Surface Brightness Universe” at the EAS Annual Meeting 2021

[Sarah Brough]

Dear ASA Colleagues,

We are excited to announce the *Symposium 12* *“The Renaissance of the 
Low Surface Brightness Universe”* to be held as part of the European 
Astronomy Society (EAS) Annual Meeting taking place virtually from *June 
30 to July 1, 2021*. *There is only 1 week left for the abstract 
deadline*, so don’t forget to send your abstracts and register!

The symposium will review the work within the field, from the smallest 
to the largest scales, bringing experts from both theory and 
observations together to shape a panchromatic view of the hidden Universe.

Further details can be found in the following links:

    Symposium: The Renaissance of the Low Surface Brightness Universe (S12)






      Rationale

The LSB Universe is key for a broad community and this symposium aims to 
address the most pressing questions:

  * How can the state-of-the-art data analysis techniques - which
    preserve LSB features - be implemented in the next generation of
    surveys like LSST and EUCLID, where the European community has invested?
  * Can we export the detailed knowledge from resolved studies of the
    Milky Way to other neighboring galaxies to better understand their
    outskirts?
  * What constraints do tidal tails provide on interacting galaxies? Do
    LSB observations agree with numerical predictions on the amount and
    properties of dark matter substructures?
  * Do simulations reproduce the properties of LSB galaxies? How can the
    next generation of telescopes resolve the kinematics and populations
    of their stellar and gas components?
  * Can we constrain the accretion history of clusters by understanding
    the nature of the Intracluster light (ICL)?

        /**Abstract submission/

/The S12 abstract peer review process will be done anonymously with the 
authors' identities being concealed from the SOC members. This aims to 
provide the most unbiased outcome possible in terms of gender-balance, 
seniority, and institutions./

In order to ensure a correct process, here are some brief guidelines for 
your abstract submission:

  * /Do not include names or affiliations in the abstract text or title/
  * /In case any referencing is really necessary, please use third
    person neutral wording/
