18:00, Plenary Hall B

ID1 "The Zoo of Galaxies", Karen Masters, Monday, 20 August, Chair: Martha Haynes

We live in a universe filled with galaxies with an amazing variety of sizes and shapes. One of the biggest challenges for working in this field is to understand how all these types relate to each other in the background of an expanding universe. Modern astronomical surveys (like the ) have revolutionized this field of astronomy, by providing vast numbers of galaxies to study. The sheer size of the these databases made traditional visual classification of the types galaxies impossible and in 2007 inspired the Galaxy Zoo project (www.galaxyzoo.org); starting the largest ever scientific collaboration by asking members of the public to help classify galaxies by type and shape. Galaxy Zoo has since shown itself, in a series of now almost 30 scientific papers, to be a fantastic database for the study of galaxy evolution.

ID2 "Supernovae, the Accelerating Cosmos, and Dark Energy" Brian Schmidt, Wednesday, 22 August, Chair: Matthew Colless

Type Ia supernovae remain one of Astronomy's precise tools for measuring distances in the Universe. I will describe the cosmological application of these stellar explosions, and chronicle how they were used to discover an accelerating Universe in 1998 - an observation which is most simply explained if more than 70% of the Universe is made up of some previously undetected form of 'Dark Energy'. Over the intervening 13 , a variety of experiments have been completed, and even more proposed to better constrain the source of the acceleration. I will review the range of experiments, describing the current state of our understanding of the observed acceleration, and speculate about future progress in understanding Dark Energy.

ID3 "The Herschel View of Star Formation" Philippe André, Wednesday, 29 August, Chair: Thierry Montmerle

―Star formation is one of the most fundamental, most complex, and least understood processes in astrophysics. Recent studies of the nearest star-forming clouds of the Galaxy at submillimeter wavelengths with the Herschel Space Observatory have provided us with unprecedented images of the initial conditions and early phases of the star formation process. The Herschel images reveal an intricate network of filamentary structure in every interstellar cloud. These filaments all exhibit remarkably similar widths - about one third of a light - but only the densest ones contain prestellar cores, the seeds of future stars. The Herschel results suggest favor a scenario in which interstellar filaments and prestellar cores represent two key steps in the star formation process: first turbulence stirs up the gas, giving rise to a universal web-like structure in the interstellar medium, then takes over and controls the further fragmentation of filaments into prestellar cores and ultimately . This scenario provides new insight into the inefficiency of star formation, the origin of stellar , and the global rate of star formation in galaxies. Despite an apparent complexity, global star formation may be governed by relatively simple universal laws from filament to galactic scales.‖

ID4 "Past, Present and Future of Chinese Astronomy" Cheng Fang, Thursday, 30 August, Chair: Norio Kaifu

―In ancient history, Chinese astronomers had got tremendous achievement. Since the main purpose of the ancient Chinese astronomy was to study the correlation between man and the universe, all the Emperors made ancient Chinese astronomy the highly regarded science throughout the history. After brief introduction of the achievement of ancient Chinese astronomy, I describe the beginnings of modern astronomy research in China in the 20th century. Benefited from the fast development of Chinese economy, the research in astronomy in China has made remarkable progress in the recent years. The number of has doubled in the past ten years, and the number of graduated students has grown over 1500. The current budget for astronomy research is ten times larger than that of ten years ago. The research covers all fields in astronomy, from galaxy to the Sun. The recent progress in both the instruments, such as the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), and the theoretical research will be briefly presented. The ongoing and the future projects on the space- and ground-based facilities will be described, including Five Hundred Meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), “Chang E” project (Lunar mission), Hard X-ray Modulate Telescope (HXMT) , Deep Space Solar Observatory (DSO), Chinese Antarctic Observatory (CAO)，and Chinese Spectral Radioheliogaph (CSRH) etc.‖
