Interstellar Dust: International Astronomical Union (IAU) Symposium Number 135, July 26-30, 1988, Santa Clara University

这笔赠款将为与会者提供旅费补助， 国际天文学联合会第135号专题讨论会。 将特别注意帮助青年科学家。 的 研讨会的主题是星际尘埃。 星际尘埃在天体物理学中非常重要， 它在星星的形成过程中的核心作用， 星际介质的物理学和化学。 研究 星际尘埃的性质是一个领域， 以惊人的速度发展，但最后一次IAU研讨会 致力于这一主题是在十八年前。 是 及时召开第135次研讨会，以促进有效的 观察者、理论家和实验室之间的思想交流 在这一重要课题上的实验者。

This grant will provide travel assistance for participants at Symposium Number 135 of the International Astronomical Union. Special attention will be given to aiding young scientists. The topic of the symposium is interstellar dust. Interstellar dust is of major importance in astrophysics because of its central role in processes such as star formation and the physics and chemistry of the interstellar medium. Research on the properties of interstellar dust is an area which has been developing with astonishing rapidity, but the last IAU Symposium dedicated to the subject was over eighteen years ago. It is timely to convene Symposium Number 135 to foster an effective exchange of ideas among observers, theoreticians, and laboratory experimentalists in this important subject.
