Overview
Welcome
This school will cover a wide range of distance measurement techniques from trigonometric parallaxes to cosmological distance measurements and related scientific topics. Distinguished lecturers in various fields will give dedicated lectures, including on the basics and cutting edge of the field of distance measurement, as well as on expected future developments.
Outline
| Title: | Summer Schoool: New Era of the Cosmic Distance Scale |
|---|---|
| Period: | June 29--July 3, 2015 |
| Venue: | Hongo Campus of the University of Tokyo (around the center of Tokyo) |
| Participants: | We will mainly consider PhD course and master course students as well as early-career postdocs. The expected number of the participants is 80 including both international (~40) and domestic (~40) attendees. We will likely receive registration requests from senior researchers, but will give priority to younger participants in our selection. |
| Participant presentations: | We call both oral and poster presentations by participants. There will be slots for several oral presentations by participants, but selection will be made based on the abstracts and other information given at the registration. |
| Language: | English |
| Topics: | Covering the Cosmic Distance Scales from the trigonometric parallax to the cosmological distances. Distinguished lecturers in various fields will give dedicated lectures including basics and frontiers of the distance indicators as well as expected developments in the future. |
