Herschel and the Formation of Stars and Planetary Systems

Herschel and the formation of stars and planetary systems - Göteborg/Särö, Sweden, 6-9 September 2010

Göteborg/Särö, Sweden
6-9 September 2010

 

Introduction, aims, and participants of the conference

The goal of this conference was to bring together researchers from the infrared and star formation communities to share recent research results, contrast them with earlier insights gained from ground-based and space-based observatories, and help guide our theoretical understanding of physical and chemical processes in regions of star and planet formation. The meeting took place at a time when the early, exciting results from the Herschel Key Programs were becoming available.

The meeting was attended by 126 participants.
