U.S.-Japan Joint Seminar: The Structure and Evolution of Neutron Stars/November 1990/Kyoto, Japan

该奖项将支持六名美国科学家参加美日联合研讨会，研究中子星的内部结构、动力学行为、形成和演化。重点将放在与理解x射线、光学和脉冲星定时观测相关的理论工作上，包括强子物质的超流动性和状态方程，中微子和热状态方程在中子星形成和早期演化中的作用，与我们银河系最近的超新星（SN1987A）有关的理论，以及中子星冷却和加热的机制。会议的参与者代表了美国和日本主要研究中子星基础物理学和天体物理学的研究小组。研讨会的共同组织者是伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校物理系和高级研究中心的David Pines博士和日本京都大学物理系的Ryozo Tamagaki博士。该研讨会将于1990年11月6日至10日在京都举行，由美日合作科学计划主办。自脉冲星和星系x射线源的发现以来，中子星物理领域取得了重大进展。超新星1987A在银河系的发现激发了美国和日本在这一领域的大量观测和理论工作。尽管举行了各种会议来考虑最近的观测结果，但美国和日本的中子星理论家很少有机会会面并讨论他们与理解观测有关的工作。这次研讨会的目的是大大加强两国目前在这一领域最活跃的专家之间的相互作用和知识交流。

This award will support the participation of six U.S. scientists in a U.S.-Japan joint seminar on the internal structure, dynamical behavior, formation, and evolution of neutron stars. Emphasis will be placed on theoretical work on these topics which is relevant to understanding X-ray, optical, and pulsar- timing observations, including the superfluidity and equation of state of hadron matter, the role of neutrinos and hot equations of state in neutron star formation and earliest evolution, theories relating to the recent supernova in our galaxy (SN1987A), and mechanisms of cooling and heating neutron stars. Participants in the meeting represent major U.S. and Japanese research groups concerned with the fundamental physics and astrophysics of neutron stars. Seminar co- organizers are Dr. David Pines, Department of Physics and Center for Advanced Study, University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign, and Dr. Ryozo Tamagaki, Department of Physics, Kyoto University, Japan. The seminar will take place November 6-10, 1990, in Kyoto, under the auspices of the U.S.-Japan Cooperative Science Program. Since the discovery of pulsars and galactic X-ray sources, significant progress has been achieved in the field of neutron star physics. The discovery of Supernova 1987A in our galaxy stimulated much observational and theoretical work in this area, both in the U.S. and Japan. Though various meetings have been held to consider recent observational results, there has been much less opportunity for U.S. and Japanese neutron star theorists to meet and discuss their work relevant to understanding the observations. This seminar is intended to enhance significantly the interaction and exchange of knowledge among the currently most active experts of both countries in this field.
