Between The Lines: a Stellar Spectroscopy Workshop

2-4 December 2024

ESO is running a mini-workshop focused on stellar abundances, offering
hands-on sessions dedicated to determining stellar parameters and chemical
abundances in FGK stars. This workshop presents an excellent opportunity for
PhD students and early career postdocs to engage with international experts
in the field, fostering valuable discussions and collaborations.

The workshop will be structured as follows:

*	Each morning will feature scientific lectures covering a range of
topics: nucleosynthesis and Galactic chemical evolution; stellar
populations, dwarf galaxies, and stellar streams; chemical studies of
planet-host stars; and large spectroscopic surveys along with the automated,
data-driven analysis pipelines that facilitate them. This session will be
open to in person and online participants.
*	Afternoons will be dedicated to hands-on experiences at three levels
of complexity.

*	1st day, participants will perform a manual single star,
line-by-line analysis.
*	2nd day will introduce a state-of-the-art physics-based automated
analysis code.
*	3rd day will focus on machine learning-based codes.

The goal is to provide participants with a comprehensive overview of the
techniques, possibilities, and challenges in the chemical abundance analysis
of cool stars, and their scientific applications. Participants will gain the
skills to effectively use these tools in their research endeavours.

Meeting structure:

*	The mini-workshop will be held in-person. However, hybrid attendance
to the morning sessions will be possible. Registration is mandatory in both
cases.
*	There will be no registration fee. Coffee breaks and lunch boxes
will be provided to in-person participants.
*	Platforms to be used during the workshop include MS Teams & Slack.
*	A certificate of participation will be delivered at the end of the
mini-workshop.
*	Info and announcements will be sent by email and posted on social
media.
*	The workshop will take place at the ESO Headquarters in Vitacura,
Santiago.
*	Financial support (travel within Chile and lodging) for a restricted
number of in-person participants will be available.
