Workshop description   

 

The meeting in Granada aims at bringing together scientists involved in the study of the "end products" of stellar evolution, favouring an atmosphere suitable for scientific discussion. While special emphasis will be put on studies of those phases of stellar evolution through radio observations, a significant number of invited and contributed talks will include studies in other bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. We hope this approach will bring together specialists working in a number of different spectral bands.

 

The workshop will be divided in different sessions, and will focuse on the following topics:

  • From AGB stars to Planetary Nebulae
  • Pulsars and Neutron Stars
  • Supernovae and Supernova Remnants
  • Compact objects in binary systems
  • GRBs

 

The workshop should set a stage for addressing unsolved issues in our understanding of stellar end products, and how to approach them with the use of the present and future new generation telescopes (VLTI, ALMA, SKA....). The workshop should also serve to discuss the relevance and connection of stellar end products with other astrophysical fields.

 

Critical aspects of each topic will be highlighted in a small number of invited reviews, and further explored in the contributed talks and discussion forums at the end of each day.

 

The workshop will have about ten review and invited talks covering the main research topics, and setting the stage for about 25-30 oral presentations. A modest number of posters can be accommodated in the main hall of the IAA. Each working day of the meeting will end with a joint discussion. Because of time and space limitations, attendance at the workshop is limited to 55 participants, all of whom are expected to contribute either an oral or poster presentation.
