The Milky Way and the Local Group -
Now and in the
Gaia Era
August 31 to September 4, 2009
Zentrum für Astronomie der Universität Heidelberg
Program
Please find here the meeting program (as of September 03, 2009).
The program contains 144 talks. People who requested a talk but whom we could not accommodate are on the waiting list. We will try to put them on the program if there are cancellations among the current group of speakers.
The typical talk times are 20 or 30 min including discussion. We encourage you to transfer your talk to the PC or the Mac laptop that will be provided in each of the two auditoriums. We can accommodate Powerpoint, Keynote, and OpenOffice. If you prefer to use your own laptop, you may do so, but please set it up and try it out before the session starts.
Submissions that could not be accommodated as an oral contribution were automatically converted into poster presentations (unless the submitters requested otherwise). Altogether, we have 92 posters. The list of posters can be found in the abstracts book (see below).
Each registered participant will receive a printed copy of the abstracts book - covering all talks and posters - upon his/her arrival at the conference desk. For a preview you can access the abstracts as a pdf file here.
The poster boards are designed to hold four posters in portrait format, two on either side of the board. We recommend to use ISO A0 format (841 x 1189 mm) for your posters, but we can accommodate posters with a width of up to 94 cm or 37 inches. Pushpins will be provided. Please feel free to put up your posters during the reception on Sunday afternoon (between 4 and 7 p.m.).
