AWARD NO: AST-0721663PI: Donald G LuttermoserINSTITUTION: East Tennessee State UniversityTITLE: A Workshop on The Biggest, Baddest, Coolest StarsThis award will provide financial support for the workshop The Biggest, Baddest, Coolest Stars to be held at East Tennessee State University, Johnson City TN, 16 to 18 July 2007. The bulk of this funding will be used for the financial assistance of graduate students, individuals from smaller institutions, and international attendees who might not otherwise be able to participate in the workshop.The motivation for the conference is the recent developments in our understanding of the physics of cool stars lead by both observational and theoretical advancements. Nonetheless, significant questions still remain unanswered. The topics to be covered include red giant stars, supergiant stars, horizontal branch stars, asymptotic giant branch stars, OH/IR stars, and protoplanetary nebulae, with an emphasis on both theory and multi-wavelength observation. Key issues to be considered include the formation of dust, the production of large molecules, the transition to planetary nebulae, winds, chromospheres, shock physics, and abundance changes due to evolution. This meeting will be formatted in a workshop mode with an emphasis on discussion, ending with a special session on the future directions of the field.The proceedings will be disseminated through the Astronomical Society of the Pacific Conference Series who will publish the proceedings. The abstracts will be available through the meeting web site and the Astrophysics Data System.

奖项编号：AST-0721663 PI：唐纳德G Luttermoser机构：东田纳西州立大学标题：最大，最坏，最酷的明星研讨会这个奖项将提供财政支持的研讨会最大，最坏，最酷的明星将在东田纳西州立大学，约翰逊城田纳西州，2007年7月16日至18日举行。这笔资金的大部分将用于资助研究生，来自较小机构的个人，以及可能无法参加研讨会的国际与会者。会议的动机是我们对冷星物理学的理解的最新发展，这是由观测和理论进步引起的。尽管如此，一些重要的问题仍然没有答案。内容包括红巨星、超巨星、水平分支星、渐近巨星分支星、OH/IR星和原行星状星云，重点放在理论和多波长观测上。要考虑的关键问题包括尘埃的形成，大分子的产生，向行星状星云的过渡，风，色球，冲击物理学，以及由于进化而产生的丰度变化。这次会议将以讲习班的形式举行，重点是讨论，最后举行一次关于该领域未来方向的特别会议，会议记录将通过太平洋天文学会会议系列传播，该学会将出版会议记录。这些摘要将通过会议网站和天体物理学数据系统提供。
