次世代アストロケミストリー国際会議案内

皆様、
(重複して案内を受け取られる方、ご容赦ください)

2022年11月29日(火)-12月2日(金)の日程で
次世代アストロケミストリー:素過程理解に基づく学理の再構築(東京大学、
小柴ホール)をテーマとした国際会議を開催します。

Dear Colleagues,

#Please circulate this information to your colleagues.

This is the second announcement of the international symposium,
"Next Generation Astrochemistry: Reconstruction of the Science Based
on Fundamental Molecular Processes"
(Nov. 29 to Dec. 2, 2022).
#On-site conference is planned.  But on-line options are prepared for
participants from abroad (Semi-hybrid).

This conference will celebrate the career of Satoshi Yamamoto, who
has made enormous contributions to establish the concept of
"chemical evolution" in astrochemistry.

Now the registration form is opened(see attached).
We are happy to have your contributions.

With best regards,
Organizing committee

Next Generation Astrochemistry:
Reconstruction of the Science Based on Fundamental Molecular
Processes
 
  Planet formation is a natural consequence of the star formation
process, and there is an incredible variety of planetary systems,
which are significantly different from the Solar System. Recent
observations have revealed chemistry in planet-forming regions.
Various complex organic molecules are found in protoplanetary-disk
forming regions, and their abundances vary significantly among
objects.  This indicates that the Solar System may not have been
common in terms of its initial chemistry, which invokes the
discussion on the rarity of our existence.  Progress of the Solar
System exploration, including the recent successful return of the
Hayabusa2 spacecraft, makes it possible to analyze pristine Solar
System materials directly. The combination of such analysis with
high-sensitivity observations of planet-forming regions will tell us
the chemical origin of our Solar System and how common or rare it is
in the universe. However, to tackle these questions, we have to
revisit fundamental astrochemical processes. In the past decades,
the astrochemical studies focused on chemistry under extremely
low temperature and density conditions, where only barrier-less
exothermic reactions proceed efficiently. During the planetary system
formation, on the other hand, the physical condition changes
dynamically resulting in dynamic interactions of molecules between
gas and dust(ice) surface. Investigation of such physical and
chemical processes is crucial to understand the formation of complex
organic molecules and the chemical variety of planet-forming regions.
Through this conference we will facilitate interdisciplinary studies
among the fields of molecular science, planetary science, and 
astronomy.
 
  This conference will celebrate the career of Satoshi Yamamoto, who
has made enormous contributions to establish the concept of "chemical
evolution" in astrochemistry.
 
 Students and young researchers are encouraged to attend and interact
with all participants, and to present their works.  Although there
is a limitation, financial help might be available for them upon request.
(The total number of on-site participants is limited to less than or
equal to 90, which may be changed without notice depending on the
Covid-19 situation. If the registered number exceeds this limit, we
will prioritize presenters, young scientist, and earlier registered
persons.)
 
Registration page is opened here.

Slots of contribution talks are available. Please provide the title
and abstract of your talk in the registration form. We will inform
participants of the talk selection by Oct 8th. For the abstract
format, we will recommend you to use the following template.

Travel information to Japan:
Please check the border measure applied to your situation.
https://www.mhlw.go.jp/stf/covid-19/bordercontrol.html
 
All the non-Japanese citizens are currently required to obtain visas,
 
even if you are from visa-exempt countries. This is due to
the covid-19 restriction. We will help you with the paperwork
if you need a visa. The government announced the plan to
discontinue this policy in the near future, but the exact date
of the policy change has not been decided. We will keep updated
with the latest information.
 
Currently you don’t need to quarantine if you are from “blue”
countries. (Most of you probably fall in here.)
https://www.mhlw.go.jp/stf/covid-19/border_category.html
 
You do not need to show a pre-departure negative PCR test result
to enter Japan anymore if you are vaccinated for 3 times with
vaccines approved by the Japanese government.
https://www.mhlw.go.jp/stf/covid-19/border_vaccine.html
 
If you are not vaccinated for 3 times or your vaccine is one
that is not recognized by the Japanese government,
you need to show a negative PCR test result 72 hours prior to
the boarding from the origin of your trip. See below for
the requirement.
