The 6th VVV Science Meeting will be held in Puerto Varas
11-12 March, 2015
Scientific Rationale
VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) is one of the six ESO Public Surveys for 4-meter VISTA Telescope. VVV is scanning the Milky Way bulge and an adjacent section of the midplane, where star formation activity is high. The survey will take 1929 hours of observations during seven years (2010–2016), covering ~109 point sources across an area of 520 deg2, including 33 known globular and ~420 open clusters. During the Fifth VVV Science Meeting we will discuss the results of the first four years of the VVV Survey as well as to plan the strategies for the next years.
Topics covered over the meeting will include:
The Meeting is being planned to include contributed talks, poster sessions and plenary discussions.
Registration
Registration is now CLOSED, Deadline for registration is February, 20th. There is no registration fee. Team members are accepted immediatly, others have to wait for a reply from the committee after filling the Registration Form.
