14th SCSLSA

Scientific Rationale

Spectral lines, their widths, and, more generally, their shapes are powerful diagnostic tools for probing emitting/absorbing gas in different astrophysical objects, from the solar system to the most distant objects in the universe - quasars. The emission/absorption lines of astrophysical objects are produced over a wide range of distances from an observer and under a wide range of physical and kinematic conditions. Therefore, in astrophysical objects lines from X-ray region (e.g., Fe α) to the radio region (e.g., radio recombination lines) wavelength range have been studied. In parallel with this, experimental and theoretical investigations of laboratory plasmas are need for spectroscopic astrophysical research; in particular, the same atomic data are needed for line-shape calculations. This conference will bring together astronomers (observers and theoreticians) and physicists from Serbia and elsewhere to review the present stage of research, with the aim of improving our knowledge in this field, and to better understand the significance of emission/absorption lines for future astrophysical investigations.

The program will cover:

Spectral line phenomena in extragalactic objects
Stellar and interstellar spectral lines
Spectral lines in laboratory and general plasma

This is the 14th conference in the series. The official website of the conference is http://servo.aob.rs/scslsa/ or http://www.scslsa.matf.bg.ac.rs. All materials (programme, talks, presentations, photos, etc.) from the previous meetings are available at http://servo.aob.rs/eeditions/SCSLSA.php through Serbian Virtual Observatory ( http://servo.aob.rs/scslsa/ ).

TALKS/POSTER COMPETITION:

During the conference, we will organize a competition for talks and posters. The competition is sponsored by MDPI Physics. Only PhD students and young postdoc researchers (5 years after the PhD) could participate in the competition. The winners are obliged to write the article for the Special Issue of MDPI Physics . There will be three equal awards (200 EUR) for the best invited talk, best progress report/short talk and the best poster.

At the closing ceremony of the conference, the special Committee announced the winners. The winner for the best invited talk is Elena Shablovinskaya. The winner for the best short talk is Denimara Dias dos Santos, and the winner for the best poster is Benedetta Dalla Barba. Congratulations to all the winners.
