Cluster Meeting
Cluster Meeting
Cluster Meeting within the SFB 881
The clusters meetings aim to bring together Heidelberg astronomers working on all aspects of stellar clusters of the Milky Way
and the Local Group, and favours exchange of expertise, both observational and theoretical. Typically two or three talks are
presented, quite informally, with the goal to foster discussions. The meetings take place about 10 times a year, usually on
Fridays at 9:30am at either the ARI (seminar room in the basement) or at MPIA (Multifunktionsraum), but the schedule and
location are flexible to adjust to the need of the participants. They last about 90min.
In order to receive the meeting announcements, please contact Bertrand Goldman or sign up to the
mailing list. Car-sharing back to MPIA or LSW is usually available.
