US-Japan Workshop : The COSMIC Evolution Survey

0456439斯科维尔该奖项支持美国科学家参与美国- * 2005年5月23日至27日在日本京都为科学家联合举办宇宙演变调查讲习班。 共同组织者是帕萨迪纳市加州理工学院的尼古拉斯·斯科维尔教授和日本仙台市东北大学的谷口芳作教授。 与COSMOS哈勃太空望远镜和斯巴鲁调查相关的主要数据集将完成，研讨会将重点关注这一前所未有的调查所实现的宇宙进化科学。 来自欧洲的科学家也将出席。 这组科学家将合作分析有关早期宇宙结构和演化的前所未有的广谱数据集。他们还安排了专门讨论公共外联举措的会议，共同组织者在该领域拥有互补的科学专门知识。 这使他们能够评估和吸引最好的科学研究人员参与。出席会议的天体物理学家都是该领域的国际领导者。 该研讨会将汇集分析不同宇宙学元素（例如暗物质，AGN和发光星系）的团队，专注于它们的耦合演化。 COSMOS调查和本次研讨会的广泛影响是巨大的。 这是HST（NASA设施）和其他参与设施（斯巴鲁和ESO-VLT）所做的最实质性的调查，因此肯定会对未来的宇宙学研究和公众对早期宇宙的理解产生长期影响。讲习班的组织者作出了特别努力，使博士后和研究生既作为与会者又作为观察员参加。 会后，他们安排他们参观了一些研究设施。 与该领域的日本专家交流想法和数据将使美国参与者能够推进自己的工作，并为未来的合作项目奠定基础。 研讨会之后，组织者计划建立一个研讨会网页。 会议记录将在本网站上公布。

0456439ScovilleThis award supports the participation of American scientists in a U.S.-Japan joint workshop for scientists on the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMIC) to be held in Kyoto, Japan from May 23-27, 2005. The co-organizers are Professor Nicholas Scoville at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena and Professor Yoshiaku Taniguchi at Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan. The major datasets associated with the COSMOS Hubble Space Telescope and Subaru surveys will be complete and the workshop will focus on the cosmic evolution science enabled by this unprecedented survey. Scientists from Europe will also be in attendance. This group of scientists will collaborate to analyze unprecedented, broad-spectrum datasets on the structure and evolution of the early universe. They have also scheduled sessions to specifically address public outreach initiatives.The co-organizers have complementary scientific expertise in the field. This enables them to evaluate and attract the best science researchers to participate. The astrophysicists attending are international leaders in the field. The workshop will bring together teams that have been analyzing different cosmological elements (e.g. dark matter, AGN and luminous galaxies) to focus on their coupled evolution. The broad impacts of the COSMOS survey, and this workshop are enormous. This is the most substantial survey ever done by HST (a NASA facility) and other participating facilities (Subaru and ESO-VLT) and therefore is sure to have a long-lasting impact on future cosmological research and on the public's understanding of the early universe. The workshop organizers have made a special effort to involve postdocs and graduate students as both participants and observers. Following the meeting they have arranged for them to visit a number of research facilities. The exchange of ideas and data with Japanese experts in the field will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. Following the seminar the organizers plan to establish a workshop web page. Conference proceedings will be published on this web site.
