Synopsis: |
These are the proceedings of the third biennial Frank N. Bash Symposium.
Since the first "BashFest" held in honor of Professor Frank N.
Bash at his retirement in 2005, this symposium has brought together
excellent young researchers from around the world who are working
on frontier topics in astronomy and astrophysics to exchange research
ideas, experiences, and their visions for the future.
e symposium centered around invited review talks by thirteen
postdoctoral researchers covering the vast range of modern astronomical
research, from detection of extrasolar planets, to dynamics of
stars in the Milky Way and neighboring galaxies, to galaxy formation
in the early Universe, to theories and observations of dark matter in
our Cosmos, and to promising probes of cosmology including
Gamma-Ray burst, Lyman-alpha emission, Cosmic Microwave Background
radiation, long baseline optical and near-IR radiation, and
redshifted 21cm line observations. Poster contributions from undergraduate,
graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers also
covered a wide variety of topics, including stellar abundances, galaxy
formation and evolution, multi-wavelength observations, and
theoretical studies of supernovae and the early Universe.
These proceedings are suitable for young and experienced researchers
alike who wish to view a snapshot of a wide range of astronomical
topics as seen through the eyes of emerging scientists and framed by
their vision of the future of the science of astronomy.
