Laboratory astrophysics is the Rosetta Stone that enables astronomers to understand and interpret the distant cosmos. It provides the tools to interpret and guide astronomical observations and delivers the numbers needed to quantitatively model the processes taking place in space, providing a bridge between observers and modelers. IAU Symposium 350 was organized by the International Astronomical Union's Laboratory Astrophysics Commission (B5), and was the first topical symposium on laboratory astrophysics sponsored by the IAU. Active researchers in observational astronomy, space missions, experimental and theoretical laboratory astrophysics, and astrochemistry discuss the topics and challenges facing astronomy today. Five major topics are covered, spanning from star- and planet-formation through stellar populations to extragalactic chemistry and dark matter. Within each topic, the main themes of laboratory studies, astronomical observations, and theoretical modeling are explored, demonstrating the breadth and the plurality of disciplines engaged in the growing field of laboratory astrophysics.
Read more- IAU Symposium 350 was the first in a series of an approximately 5-year cycle of IAU symposia dedicated to laboratory astrophysics
- Demonstrates and reinforces the active synergy between astronomical observation, laboratory experiment and theoretical modelling
- Timely with the advent of new powerful telescopes (e.g., ALMA, the James Webb Space Telescope in 2021 and the construction of the Extremely Large Telescope)
