The Subaru and Gemini Observatories are pleased to announce a jointly sponsored science conference which aims to provide opportunity for participants from each community to meet to present research conducted at the two observatories and to explore possible collaborations.

The conference covers wide range of scientific topics, including

  • Cosmology, Large-Scale Structure, and Galaxy Formation
  • Black Holes, AGN and Active Galaxies
  • Stars and Compact Objects
  • Solar System and Exoplanets
  • Star Formation and Interstellar Medium
and any other topics are all welcome to be presented. In addition, introductive talks of Subaru and Gemini Observatories will be provided and future prospects of both observatories will be discussed.

Other goals are to:
  • Better understand the Subaru and Gemini instruments and science programs
  • Foster scientific collaborations
