[ASA] Conference: Evolution of Dust and Gas throughout Cosmic Time

[Andrew Battisti]

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the upcoming “Evolution of Dust and Gas throughout Cosmic Time” conference, set to take place on December 9-13, 2024, in the beautiful city of Hiroshima, Japan. This conference aims to focus on the latest advancements in our understanding of star formation, active galactic nuclei (AGN), and the interstellar medium (ISM), and their evolution across cosmic time. We look forward to your participation.

Scientific Rationale
In recent years, our view of star formation, active galactic nuclei (AGN), the dusty interstellar medium (ISM), and their connection over cosmic time has been revolutionized thanks to technological advances in infrared and submillimeter facilities such as JWST and ALMA. Recent observations now enable direct comparisons of ISM properties from z=0 to the early Universe, from resolved studies to direct observations of dust and gas in different phases. At the same time, simulations have made significant progress in their ability to include the physics of a multi-phase ISM, as well as interstellar dust.  Therefore, it is now timely to bring together observers and theorists  to discuss new insights and findings on linking dust and gas properties of galaxies observed at different scales and cosmic times, as we prepare for the exciting years ahead. The main goals are to discuss the state of our knowledge about:

  *   Evolution of dust and metals from the local Universe to high redshifts
  *   Galaxy growth and resolved studies of star formation and AGN
  *   Interpretations of new observations and constraints for the latest simulations
  *   Future prospects of infrared astronomy
