U.S.-Australia Joint Workshop: Accretion Phenomena and Associated Outflows/Port Douglas, Queensland, Australia/ July 1996

9515471霍利该奖项支持十位美国天文学家参加将于1996年7月15日至19日在澳大利亚昆士兰州道格拉斯港举行的题为“吸积现象和相关的外流”的研讨会。美国组织者是弗吉尼亚大学天文学系的约翰·霍利教授。澳大利亚的主要组织者是澳大利亚国立大学天体物理理论中心的莉莉亚·费拉里奥博士。研讨会的主题是吸积盘系统。这些系统存在于原恒星系统、包含黑洞、白矮星或中子星的双星系统，以及活动星系的中心等不同的位置。研讨会将研究人员聚集在一起，进行与涉及这些不同系统的基本物理机制有关的观测和理论计算。该研讨会为澳大利亚研究人员提供了与美国顶尖天体物理学家和一些第三国天体物理学家互动的机会，同时让美国参与者熟悉澳大利亚最近的观测和理论研究。预计该讲习班将在磁流体动力学和流体动力学代码领域开展大量新的合作研究，这些代码可应用于对吸积盘、喷流和风的物理建模。天体物理学是澳大利亚政府支持的重大基础科学之一。澳大利亚对研讨会的支持主要由澳大利亚工业、科学和技术部(DIST)提供。讲习班的会议记录将由太平洋天文学会出版。

9515471 Hawley This award supports the participation of ten American astronomers at a workshop entitled "Accretion Phenomena and Associated Outflows" to be held at Port Douglas, Queensland, Australia, July 15 through 19, 1996. The American organizer is Prof. John Hawley from the Astronomy Department of the University of Virginia. The Australian principal organizer is Dr. Lilia Ferrario of the Astrophysical Theory Center of the Australian National University. The subject of the workshop is accretion disk systems. These systems are found in such diverse locations as protostellar systems, binary systems containing black holes, white dwarfs or neutron stars, and the centers of active galaxies. The workshop brings together researchers conducting observations and theoretical calculations pertaining to basic physical mechanisms involving these diverse systems. The workshop provides the Australian investigators the opportunity to interact with top American and a few third country astrophysicists, while acquainting the American participants with recent observational and theoretical research in Australia. It is anticipated that considerable new collaborative investigations will emanate from this workshop in the area of magnetohydrodynamical and fluid dynamical codes which find application to modelling the physics of accretion disks, jets and winds. Astrophysics is one of the major fundamental sciences supported by the Australian government. The Australian support for the workshop is primarily provided by the Australian Department of Industry, Science and Technology (DIST). The proceedings of the workshop will be published by through the Astronomical Society of the Pacific.
