The meeting will take place in person in Ponte de Lima, which is the oldest municipality in Portugal (chartered in 1125) and about 90min away from Porto airport by express bus. The meetings are informal, and there is no registration fee. There will be no invited speakers, parallel sessions, or posters, and all the time slots will be of equal length. Should there be excessive abstract demand, some preference will be given to younger participants. The meetings are not restricted to a single focused topic, but are open to cosmologists in the broadest sense, from theoretical particle physics to observational astrophysics. Stimulating interactions between theorists and observers is a particular concern of the organizers, and will be the key factor for the success of the meeting. In addition to the talks, there may also be time for guided discussions, particularly if there are several requests for talks on a common hot topic. The meeting will also include a programme of social and educational/outreach activities.

The primary goal of the meeting is to discuss complementary aspects of elementary particle phenomenology both within the standard model and beyond: those relevant for the third and high luminosity runs of the Large Hadron Collider and possible future high energy colliders; in high intensity experiments measuring neutrino oscillations, quark/lepton number, flavour and CP violation; in astroparticle observatories probing the matter-energy content of the early and present universe. Planned topics to be covered include Higgs boson and electroweak physics, top quark physics, flavour phenomena and CP violation, neutrino physics, dark matter as well as other particle dynamics in the early universe.

COSPAR organizes a series of Symposia that are aimed at promoting space research at a regional level and are generally held in countries with medium or small-size space infrastructures.

Soon after Einstein postulated the General Theory of Relativity, he introduced what he called his "greatest mistake'', the so-called cosmological constant. Solutions of the Einstein equation with cosmological constant are now called Einstein manifolds, and despite Einstein's pessimistic view, play key roles both in mathematics and physics. Quasi-Einstein manifolds are generalizations of Einstein manifolds, which include not only Einstein manifolds but Ricci solitons, warped product Einstein manifolds, static Einstein manifolds, and other special manifolds. These are important in many areas of modern mathematical research, including Ricci flow, collapsed Gromov-Hausdorff limits, and general relativity. This workshop will examine progress in seemingly disparate fields which in fact share a common nexus, namely quasi-Einstein manifolds or the related notion of Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature. Problems to be discussed include the classification problem for near horizon geometries (of black holes), for Ricci solitons and for static Einstein metrics, as well as the fundamental gap problem for Laplace and Schroedinger operators, and the formulation and application of synthetic Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together scientists with different backgrounds and expertise to discuss open problems, recent developments and future directions in axion physics, a field that is notoriously replete with interdisciplinary connections. The aim is to foster a fruitful cross breeding between different theoretical areas, with a focus on certain open issues in axion particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Quantitative assessments of the axion contribution to Cold Dark Matter (CDM) involve top-notch lattice simulations of non- perturbative QCD effects, as well as of the cosmic evolution of axionic topological defects. Astrophysical observations provide strong bounds on axion properties because stellar evolution would be affected by the existence of axions and, intriguingly, some excesses in star energy losses have been reported. Cosmological scenarios in which the PQ symmetry is broken before inflation foresee axions imprints in the CMB, while in post-inflationary scenarios axion miniclusters, with overdensities several orders of magnitude larger than the local density of CDM, are expected to form, and a reliable assessment of their properties is of utmost importance. From the experimental side, a blossoming of potentially game-changing ideas, with an exciting crossover from experimental particle physics to materials science and cutting-edge technologies is inspiring new methods for axion searches. Novel techniques have been put forth that, besides exploiting the axion- photon coupling, aim to reveal axions via their couplings to nucleons and electrons. The interaction between the experimental and theoretical communities will foster the merging of `how to search’ with `where to search’ into optimized strategies to hunt for the axion.

Black holes are playing an ever increasing role in fundamental physics, from information theory to quantum gravity and holography. They are now under active investigation in many important branches of observational, theoretical and mathematical physics. In particular, they have stimulated important advances in the computation of entanglement entropies in large N conformal field theory and in various aspects of gauge theory/gravity duality. This workshop gathers researchers working on mathematical problems related to the holographic description of black holes, in its quantum aspects. The workshop will stimulate progress at this cutting edge of theoretical high energy physics.

Royal Society of Chemistry

The aim of this meeting is to bring together researchers from astronomy, gas-phase, solid state and surface physics, and chemistry communities to address the wide-ranging roles of chemistry in astronomy in the light of the wealth of observational detail becoming available in this era of high resolution astrochemistry. Our window on the universe is being opened more widely as new observational platforms are developed that will overcome the limitations of resources currently available to astronomers. Together we will address the role of chemical spectroscopy in identifying chemical species and probing their environments; we will attempt to understand the interplay of gas-phase, surface, solid state and photochemically-induced processes that drive the chemical evolution of our Galaxy and others; how this chemical evolution is intimately involved in controlling the process of star and planet formation; and how chemistry brings us to the edge of biology.

One of the central features of the AAS Summer and Winter Meetings is their plenary talks spanning the full breadth of astrophysics. Some plenaries are given by prize winners from the AAS and other organizations, while other speakers are selected by the AAS Vice Presidents. Most plenary talks present science content, but talks on the state of the profession, demographics, and societal issues of relevance to the astronomical community are also regularly scheduled.

The thematic school Gravitational wave emission from proto-neutron stars and neutron star mergers (GWsNS-2023) is a graduate school that will cover several aspects of the gravitational wave (GW) emission from neutron stars. Lectures will mainly focus on the gravitational emission from supernovae, proto-neutron stars and coalescing binaries, with an eye on the connection between astrophysical phenomena and the equation of state (EOS) of dense matter that defines the structure and macroscopic behaviour of these compact objects.

University of Michigan

We are pleased to announce the second Michigan Cosmology Summer School from June 5-9, 2023 at the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor, MI. The target participants are graduate students and junior postdocs. Additional details are in the Summer School website: https://johannesulf.github.io/cosmology-school-2023/, including a preliminary list of lecturers. While we expect the majority of participants to be in-person, we will provide a hybrid setup, opening lectures and interaction spaces to online participants. This should significantly broaden the accessibility of the School to junior scientists based in countries from which it is expensive and difficult to travel to the U.S. The school will cover topics across the field of cosmology ranging from theory to experiment, but the emphasis will be on computation and the interface between data and theory. An overarching goal of the school will be to provide participants with concrete practical skills for data modeling. The focus will be on the theoretical underpinnings of inflation, dark matter, and dark energy using modern measurements, principally those coming from the LSS and CMB. The registration opens late January. The Leinweber Center for Theoretical Physics will heavily subsidize registration costs to minimize barriers for attendees. The weather in Michigan that time of the year should be very nice, with long sunny days. We are planning to organize some outdoor activities as well.

This workshop aims to discuss the phenomenological implications of Primordial Black Holes (PBH), such as their possible relationship with dark matter origin, neutrino mass, the baryon asymmetry, inflation, their theoretical aspects and origin and the possible multi-messenger detection and the experimental state-of-the-art. Recently, the interest in PBHs from the physics community is growing because they can provide an alternative explanation of some of the major problems of the Standard Model. We know that Black Holes can merge or evaporate (according to the seminal paper by Hawking), generating gravitational waves, fluxes of Dark Matter, and standard model particles. Therefore, different experimental indirect searches can possible exploit the multi-messenger approach.

During the last decades, strong gravitational lensing has become a powerful tool that can be used to study astronomical objects with different physical scales. It has also proven to be a promising diagnostic that can help solve some of the most important problems in cosmology. We have now reached a critical time for strong gravitational lensing research, as forthcoming large-scale surveys (Euclid, the Roman Space Telescope, the Chinese Space Station Telescope and the Vera Rubin Observatory) will map the entire sky and increase the number of known gravitational lenses from a few hundred to about 100 000. At the same time, strong gravitational lenses with current and forthcoming instruments (e.g. ALMA, JWST, E-ELT, SKA-VLBI) will spatially resolve scales that are beyond the reach of telescopes for individual objects in the high-redshift Universe. These new data will revolutionise our understanding of dark matter and structure formation, and offer unprecedented cosmological applications. This strong gravitational lensing symposium will bring together observational and theoretical members of the community to review their preparedness for this new era, to discuss advanced statistical techniques and possible systematics limitations, and to foster novel collaborations.

Over the past decade, the astronomical community has invested enormous efforts to exploit major ground- and space-based facilities. The advent of stellar spectroscopic surveys, such as Gaia-ESO, GALAH, and APOGEE, paved the way for the large-scale analysis of the chemical compositions of millions of stars. Time-domain photometry missions, such as CoRoT, Kepler, and TESS, allowed detailed characterization of the interior structure of stars by asteroseismic techniques. Interferometric observations with VLTI and CHARA provide new information about stellar diameters and the circumstellar environment. With Gaia, stellar luminosities and radii of millions of stars can now be derived. The upcoming facilities and surveys, such as SDSS-V, 4MOST, PLATO, LSST, and JWST will revolutionize the field with unique time-domain information, and an increase in sample size by orders of magnitude. The main challenge is to combine the large amount of high-quality observations into a general coherent picture of the fundamental parameters of stars and to position them within the context of theoretical stellar structure and stellar evolution. The MIAPP program will assess the state-of-the-art in the field and develop concepts for new strategies and models to move towards the percent-level precision and accuracy in diagnostics of stellar structure.

This MIAPP program will focus on theoretical and observational challenges in the broad area of Stellar Astrophysics.

Defining a theory of quantum gravity remains one of the most challenging problems at the cutting edge of research in mathematical and theoretical physics. Unlocking this problem implies constructing a quantum field theoretic description of gravity which fully elucidates how a quantum field theory encodes gravitational spacetime background solutions. Much of the progress in shaping the language and the framework of this problem owes its genesis to a specific subset of problems in quantum gravity, namely those dealing with understanding the organisation of information in black holes.

Efficiency of theoretical analysis, synthesis and modeling of various environments, depends on atomic data and their sources. In particular, for the modeling of stellar atmospheres and opacity calculations a large number of atomic data is needed. The same holds for Earth observations. Consequently, the development of databases with atomic data as well as astro-geoinformatics is important. This meeting will bring together physicists, astro & geophysicists to review the present stage of research in this field. The meeting is planned as an opportunity to consider the above-mentioned aspects of spectroscopic research on plenary sessions and then to work on the special mini-projects, which will result in common papers to be published in international scientific journals

Researchers in statistics and computer science are developing new methods to analyse the "big data" that companies and governments want to understand. To test out these methods they need big datasets that everyone can share --- and new astronomical telescopes just happen to be gearing up to generate observations of billions of stars and galaxies that fit the bill. Insights from statistics will help astrophysicists to get the most out of these observations. The Astrostatistics 2023 workshop will bring together statisticians and astrophysicists to learn the technical languages of the two fields and identify how to work together to combine the excitement of space with big data.

While it is widely acknowledged that string theory provides a framework for addressing quantum gravitational (and even quantum field theoretic) questions, the precise nature of its organizational principle remains obscure. Nearly three decades ago, when the question “What is string theory?” was asked, the perturbative string worldsheet viewpoint played the starring role. Since then, the discovery of D-branes, string dualities, and the holographic AdS/CFT correspondence has had spacetime dynamics taking center-stage. Much insight has been gleaned from these developments. We now have, for example, a much broader class of string backgrounds with better control over compactifications; strong constraints on the low energy effective field theories; a plethora of gauge-string dualities as well as applications of holographic techniques to a wide class of physical problems; and new angles on semiclassical gravitational physics from a fruitful interplay with quantum information in holography. Together with an influx of new tools and techniques, we have a very rich set of perspectives that illuminate the subject we continue to call string theory. While all these developments are interesting in and of themselves, it is an opportune moment to attempt to synthesize these, often disparate, strands and arrive at a deeper answer to the question in the title.

Turbulence is an important process in various astrophysical environments and over vast scales. These environments range from the interior of stars, the solar wind, accretion flows, disks, jets, the interstellar medium and the circumgalactic medium, to the intra-cluster medium. The past few decades have seen great advances in both observational and theoretical studies of astrophysical turbulence. The advances in understanding and measuring turbulence have also brought significant changes to many branches of astronomy.

This conference will bring together turbulence experts from a wide range of subfields in astrophysics and physics. The goal is to encourage and enhance interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations. The conference will cover many topics, including: turbulent dynamo, magnetic reconnection, plasma physics, space physics, unresolved physics and sub-grid models in numerical simulations, turbulence in the laboratory, new observational techniques for diagnosing turbulence, connecting observations and models, and astrophysical applications of magnetized turbulence (e.g. star formation, cosmic rays, accretion, galaxy formation and evolution).

TESS welcomes participation by the entire Heliophysics community, including all four traditional sub-disciplines devoted to studies of the Sun, Heliosphere, Magnetosphere, and Ionosphere-Thermosphere-Mesosphere.

Tidal disruption events (TDEs), which occur when a star is destroyed by the immense tidal field of a supermassive black hole, fuel luminous accretion flares that provide unique insight into the properties of galactic nuclei and their central black holes. The detection rate of these events has accelerated in recent years thanks to advances in wide-field survey capabilities across the electromagnetic spectrum. Nonetheless, there remain theoretical uncertainties in the modeling of TDEs that obfuscate understanding in the face of observations, and our ability to use TDEs as a collective Rosetta Stone for deciphering black hole demographics across cosmic time remains elusive. To bridge theory and observation and to start to tap the wealth of understanding contained within TDE observations, this conference aims to unite the diverse field of astronomers working on TDEs and the related fields of variable Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and X-ray binaries. This conference will highlight the recent advances that have been made in understanding TDEs, make connections to related astrophysical phenomena, and elucidate the most outstanding questions in TDE theory and observation.

Observables spanning a wide range of cosmic epochs and length-scales independently testify to the existence of dark matter. Although little is known about the microphysical nature of dark matter, its mere existence points to physics beyond the Standard Model. New developments in theory, cosmological simulations, and observational capabilities in the era of large surveys have opened up a vast landscape for dark matter discovery, which includes models that can only be tested by astrophysical and cosmological probes.

COSMO'24 will take place for October 21-25, 2024 in Kyoto, Japan. It will bring together a wide range of cosmologists and particle physicists to discuss current ideas on particle physics and cosmology.

One of the central features of the AAS Summer and Winter Meetings is their plenary talks spanning the full breadth of astrophysics. Some plenaries are given by prize winners from the AAS and other organizations, while other speakers are selected by the AAS Vice Presidents. Most plenary talks present science content, but talks on the state of the profession, demographics, and societal issues of relevance to the astronomical community are also regularly scheduled.
