Solar Analogs II

The 2009 Lowell Fall Workshop will focus on the Sun and its closest stellar cousins and how they vary over time. Visit the workshop web site to see the list of scheduled talks and participants.

The "Contifest," October 12-15, 2008

Dr. Phil Massey convened Massive Hot Stars: A Lifetime Of Influence from October 12-15, 2008, to honor the career of Dr. Peter S. Conti. About 80 participants from 12 countries came to Flagstaff for this 2 1/2 day workshop.

The Outer Edges of Dwarf Irregular Galaxies, October 10-11, 2002

Convened by Drs. Deidre Hunter and Sally Oey, the 65 attendees at this workshop discussed some of the most extreme environments for star formation: the tenuous edges of small galaxies.

Pluto and Triton: Comparisons and Evolution Over Time, September 23-24, 1999

Optical/IR Interferometry Workshop, October 4-9, 1998

Thanks to the presence of the innovative Navy Prototype Optical Interferometer at our Anderson Mesa observing station, we hosted 125 astronomers to discuss methods and techniques of doing optical and IR interferometry. The workshops was generously sponsored by the United States Naval Observatory, the Naval Research Lab, and the National Science Foundation.

Exploring the Kuiper Belt: Where Do We Go From Here?, September 3-4, 1998

Solar Analogs, October 5-7, 1997

We held a conference on Solar Analogs: Characteristics and Optimum Candidates from October 5-7, 1997, to discuss the nature of Sun-like stars.

The Role of Small Telescopes in Modern Astronomy, October 14-15, 1996

Our first fall workshop addressed the issues of science that can be done with non-monstrous telescopes, and the future of broad access to such facilities by the astronomical community.

Lowell Observatory has hosted a number of workshops over the years, bringing astronomers from around the world to Mars Hill to discuss diverse areas of research. Our lecture hall can accommodate up to 126 participants, making it ideal for hosting small to medium size conferences. Often we set up Web pages to accompany these meetings, and this page provides links to these sites. Where such a site exists, the conference title is shown as a hyperlink.
