项目摘要

This proposal requests financial support for the international conference "From Stars to Massive Stars - Connecting our understanding of massive star and star cluster formation through the universe" to be hosted by the University of Florida on April 6 - 9, 2016. The funding will provide travel grants for graduate students and invited speakers. Overall, about 150 participants are expected. The presentations will be posted on the conference web site, so results presented at the conference will be immediately available to the wider astronomical community. As part of the conference program, there will be a public event, "Starry Night: Birth of the Giants" featuring a few public lectures by selected conference participants and star viewingThis conference will bring together researchers from star formation, star cluster, massive star, starburst, and Population III research communities to share recent research results and to motivate future collaborations and projects that will improve our understanding of these phenomena. The meeting comes at a time when many exciting results are appearing from large, high resolution surveys of our Galaxy's star-forming regions along with detailed follow-up from facilities such as ALMA. With increasing computational resources and more sophisticated numerical modeling, theoretical insight is beginning to catch up with these observations. This meeting should lead to a more complete understanding of galaxy formation and evolution, as well as the nature of the star forming environments in which most stellar and planetary systems are created.

该提案请求为佛罗里达大学于 2016 年 4 月 6 日至 9 日主办的国际会议“从恒星到大质量恒星——连接我们对宇宙中大质量恒星和星团形成的理解”提供财政支持。该资金将提供为研究生和受邀演讲者提供旅费补助。总体而言，预计约有 150 名参与者。演示文稿将发布在会议网站上，因此会议上提出的结果将立即提供给更广泛的天文学界。作为会议计划的一部分，将举办一场公共活动“星夜：巨人的诞生”，由选定的会议参与者进行一些公开讲座和恒星观赏。这次会议将汇集来自恒星形成、星团、大质量恒星、 starburst 和 Population III 研究社区分享最新的研究成果，并推动未来的合作和项目，以增进我们对这些现象的理解。这次会议召开之际，对银河系恒星形成区域进行的大型高分辨率调查以及 ALMA 等设施的详细后续调查正在得出许多令人兴奋的结果。随着计算资源的增加和数值模型的更加复杂，理论洞察力开始赶上这些观察结果。这次会议应该会让人们对星系的形成和演化，以及大多数恒星和行星系统形成的恒星形成环境的性质有更全面的了解。
