We are pleased to make the 2nd announcement of the 5th NAOJ Symposium / the 7th Subaru International Conference on "Subaru Telescope 20th Anniversary -Optical & Infrared Astronomy for the Next Decade-“,  which will be held for November 17-22, 2019, at Waikoloa Beach, Marriott Resort & Spa, Hawaii, U.S.A. 

This symposium will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Subaru Telescope and highlight our recent scientific outcomes in parallel sessions. We also aim to share and discuss the on-going/future large programs (to be) conducted on Subaru Telescope including international collaborations in the general session.  Therefore, we very much hope that many scientists from Korea will participate in the symposium and exchange ideas for on-going/future collaborations with us.  The detailed information of this conference can be found at the following website and the announcement attached at the end of this email;

We look forward to seeing many people from Korea in Big Island.

Subaru Telescope 20th Anniversary

-Optical & Infrared Astronomy for the Next Decade-

============================================

It is our great pleasure to announce the 5th NAOJ Symposium / the 7th Subaru International Conference on "Subaru Telescope 20th Anniversary -Optical & Infrared Astronomy for the Next Decade-", which will be held in November 17-22, 2019, at Waikoloa Beach, Marriott Resort & Spa, Hawaii, U.S.A. With this second announcement we open the registration and abstract submission through the conference webpage at

[Rationale]

Subaru Telescope is the 8.2-meter flagship optical-infrared telescope of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, located at the Maunakea Observatory on Hawaii.  Since its scientific first light in 1999, Subaru has been expanding our understanding of the universe with remarkable results in various research fields from our solar system all the way out to the earliest Universe. 

This symposium will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Subaru and highlight our recent scientific outcomes in parallel sessions.  We also aim to share and discuss the on-going/future large programs (to be) conducted on Subaru Telescope including international collaborations in the plenary session. The Subaru User’s Meeting FY2019 will also be combined with this conference. 

[Key topics of the Plenary Session]

- Subaru User's Meeting FY2019 (Business session)

- Subaru Strategic Programs (HSC, IRD, PFS)

- International partnership

- Synergy with Space and TMT

- Science Keynotes

[Science Parallel Sessions]

- Solar System: “Progress and Perspective of Solar System Science using Subaru”

- Exoplanet and Star Formation: “Past 20 Years and Future of Subaru's Role in Observations of Exoplanets and Disks”

- Local Group and Nearby Galaxies: “Wide-field-surveys of the Local Group and Nearby Galaxies”

- Galaxy Formation: “kaia•hö•kü: Towards Understanding the origin of the Complexity and Diversity”
