17th European White Dwarf Workshop

1st Announcement

Tübingen, Germany, August 16-20, 2010

 Dear colleagues,

we are pleased to announce the 17th European Workshop on White Dwarfs, to be held in Tübingen next summer. This meeting continues the series of workshops which started in Kiel, Germany, in 1974, and came to Kiel again in 1984, 1994, and 2004. The last workshop took place last year in Barcelona (Spain).

The topics to be covered in the conference will be similar to those of the previous meetings. Therefore, contributions in all areas of white dwarf (WD) research are welcome, including properties of WDs in binaries, but excluding the general fields of CVs, sdB stars and planetary nebulae. A tentative list of topics is: Concerning the format of the workshop, we want to maintain the spirit of previous conferences, thus allowing for oral contributions of around 20 minutes. Poster contributions are also welcome. Please, inform any interested colleague, because our mailing list might be not complete. Details about registration, publication of the proceedings, travel and accommodation and local information, are posted in the conference web page (see below).

If you are interested to participate and to contribute an oral or poster presentation please fill out the registration form on our web page before the stated deadline. The registration fee will be € 300 and € 400 for early and late registration, respectively. We suggest to book your hotel room early because Tübingen is a touristic place.

In case of positive assessment by the German Research Foundation, limited funds will be available to assist with a part of travel expenses. We intend to publish printed proceedings with ASP or AIP.
