The Art of Measuring Physical Parameters in Galaxies

美国国家科学基金会将于2018年4月10日至13日在加州大学河滨分校棕榈沙漠会议中心举办“测量星系物理参数的艺术”研讨会。本次研讨会建立并扩展了成功的宇宙大会近红外深河外遗产调查（CANDELS）项目。该奖项将帮助支持20名年轻的天文学家和少数群体成员出席。现在有一个广泛的CANDELS星系的光度和光谱数据集，需要测量它们相关的物理参数。研讨会的目的是将该领域的领导者聚集在一起，讨论和确定使用从x射线到无线电波长的组合数据测量这些参数的最佳方法，讨论最先进的科学，并确定只有利用这些数据才能实现的杰出和基础项目。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

NSF support is provided for a workshop on "The Art of Measuring Physical Parameters in Galaxies" to be held during April 10-13th 2018 at the Palm Desert conference center of the University of California, Riverside. This workshop builds upon and extends the successful Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) project. The award will help support attendance of 20 younger astronomers and members of the minority groups. There is now an extensive photometric and spectroscopic dataset available for CANDELS galaxies, driving a need to measure their associated physical parameters. The aim of the workshop is to bring together leaders in the field to discuss and identify the optimum ways to measure these parameters using the combined data from X-ray to radio wavelengths, to discuss the state-of-the-art science, and to identify the outstanding and fundamental projects that are only possible by exploiting such data.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
