Conference scope

European Conference on Laboratory Astrophysics (ECLA), 26- 30 September, 2011,Paris, France

Laboratory astrophysics is an interdisciplinary field whose research benefits from all modern space and ground based observational techniques, as well as experimental facilities like synchrotron radiation sources, high-energy lasers, and sophisticated analytical tools such as mass spectrometry.

Laboratory astrophysics naturally fosters the collaboration between astrophysicists and physicists from many different backgrounds, and its aim is to complement and support astrophysical observations with laboratory based measurements, theoretical and numerical studies.

The objective of the conference is to gather scientists from these communities, share their expertise and discuss about recent results and challenges. The subjects covered are planetary physics, including exoplanets, stellar environments and interstellar medium, stellar physics, including solar physics, compact objects and high energy processes.

The conference will host the first meeting of the board of the European Task Force on Laboratory Astrophysics ( ETFLA/ASTRONET)
