Summer course "Molecules in Space"
Onsala Space Observatory, Sweden
25 June - 2 July 2013

Programme

The programme of the summer course comprises:

• lectures by internationally leading scientists covering a broad range of subjects in astrochemistry

• observations of a small, cold molecular cloud using the 20 m telescope at Onsala Space Observatory to determine its mass and whether it is going to collapse forming a star

• state-of-the art model calculations of the chemistry of dark clouds and ice surfaces

• usage of observations to determine physical parameters in astronomical object

• a poster sessions for the participating students and early career scientists

The programme of the summer course can be downloaded as an .doc file here.

Poster session

The poster sessions will be held on Tuesday, 25 June 2013 at the building of the 25 telescope. Dimensions for the poster boards will be announced here in due course.

Participants will be allowed a 4 minutes presentation for their posters (no discussion time after the presentation). The presentation will take place in the seminar room at Onsala Space Observatory (the same as the lectures). Powerpoint slides can be used. For a smooth run of these poster talks, they are asked to bring heir talks on a memory stick or CD-ROM.
