Splinter Meeting

The chemical evolution of the universe on its smallest scales:

Dust in stars, disks and planets


The Splinter Meeting is held in the frame of the annual meeting Cosmic Matter of the Astronomische Gesellschaft
in Wuerzburg September 24 - 28, 2007. The Splinter meeting will be part of a conference offering several plenum talks, highlight  talks and other splinter meetings.


Splinter Topic Frame:
Dust is one of the most active chemical components of our universe. It plays a vital role in the formation, the evolution and the destruction of stars and planets, and, hence, initiates the chemical evolution of the universe on its smallest scales.

The Splinter aims to bring together theory, observation and laboratory works being jointly applied to studies of dust formation and processing in stars, disks or planets, their interlinks and their implications for the chemical evolution of the universe

Splinter Format:
The splinter meeting program will contain a limited number of review talks. Most of the time will be reserved for contributed talks. There will be no conference publication from the splinter meeting except an abstract booklet which will be available for all  conference participants. Hence, the splinter provides opportunity for cross-disciplinary exchange and discussions without follow-up duties.
