Masers: the ultimate astrophysical tools
mini-workshop: Bonn, 11-12 Nov 2009

Goal of this mini-workshop
This highly informal mini-workshop is being organized by the maser groups at the Argelander-Institut and the Max-Planck Instut für Radioastronomie with the aim of bringing together the 'local' (i.e. within a few hours travel to Bonn) maser astronomers. However, in principle, all interested astronomers working on or interested in maser research are welcome to attend. We intend to limit the majority of contributions to presentation about 'recent' work (i.e. mostly after the Australia meeting) and will not be giving any review talks.The main goal of the workshop is to strengthen the collaborative ties and define new projects. If there's interest, we can also work on defining large collaborations for maser work with the new upcoming facilities (such as ALMA), as such large groups are needed to be able to compete for the telescope time with a number of the more organized astronomical communities.

Format
The workshop will consist of a number of sessions with short presentations and discussion followed by breakout sessions in which we hope to identify potential new collaborative efforts in our maser research.The workshop programme can be found here. Due to the number of requested presentations, each talk is limited to 20 minutes (incl. questions).

Place/date
