US-Korea Seminar on Binary Star Astronomy, Seoul and Taejon, Korea, November 5-13, 1990

这项建议要求拨款允许内布拉斯加州-林肯大学物理和天文学系的Kam Ching Leung博士与韩国首尔延世大学天文学系Il-Seong Nha博士共同举办美韩双星天文学研讨会。这次联合研讨会将于1990年11月5日至13日在韩国汉城和大田举行，共有12名美国人参加。这次研讨会的目的是为了互惠互利，让美国和韩国的天文学家聚集在一起，(1)交流关于研究近距离和宽广双星系统的现代技术的信息，以及(2)评估、识别、并就未来该领域合作的优先领域向NSF和KOSEF(韩国科学与工程基金会)提供建议。研讨会上发表的论文将集中在获取数据、推导基本量以及解释和建模双星系统的新方法上。美国和韩国的协调人都是备受尊敬的科学家，他们在双星天文学方面有成功合作的记录。该项目与美韩合作科学计划的目标相关，该计划旨在通过交流科学信息、想法、技能和技术以及通过在互利问题上的合作来提高美国和韩国科学家和工程师之间的合作水平。韩国的参与将得到科斯夫的支持。

This proposal requests funds to permit Dr. Kam Ching Leung, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, to conduct with Dr. Il-Seong Nha, Department of Astronomy, Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea, a U.S.-Korea seminar on Binary Star Astronomy. The joint seminar, involving twelve U.S. participants, will be held from November 5-13, 1990, in Seoul and Taejon, Korea. The purpose of this seminar is to bring together for mutual benefit U.S. and Korean astronomers to (1) exchange information on contemporary techniques for investigating both close and wide binary star systems and (2) assess, identify, and advise NSF and KOSEF (Korea Science and Engineering Foundation) on priority areas for future cooperation in this field. Papers presented at the seminar will focus on new approaches for acquiring data, deriving fundamental quantities, and interpreting and modeling binary systems. The U.S. and Korean coordinators are highly respected scientists who have a record of successful collaboration in binary star astronomy. This project is relevant to the objectives of the U.S.-Korea Cooperative Science Program which seeks to increase the level of cooperation between U.S. and Korean scientists and engineers through the exchange of scientific information, ideas, skills, and techniques and through collaboration on problems of mutual benefit. Korean participation will be supported by KOSEF.
