AG prizewinner's lectures
The Karl Schwarzschild Lectures constitute a special
series of invited reviews delivered by outstanding scientists who have
been awarded the Karl Schwarzschild Medal of the Astronomische
Gesellschaft, whereas excellent young astronomers are honoured
by the Ludwig Biermann Prize. This year's Medal winner
is Prof. Keiichi Kodaira. The title of his talk will be:
``Macro- and Microscopic Views of Nearby Galaxies''
Invited Reviews
-
S. Beckwith, Baltimore, MD:
``Stars and Protoplanets, from HST to NGST''
-
K. Danzmann, Hannover:
``Gravitational Wave Astronomy with GEO and LISA''
-
G. Hasinger, Potsdam:
``The Universe seen from Chandra and XMM''
-
M. Mayor, Geneva:
``The Search for Extraterrestrial Planets''
-
D. Richstone, Ann Arbor, MI:
``Black Holes in Galaxies and Nuclei''
-
M. Tarenghi, Garching:
``VLT, VLTI and New Telescope Technology''
Highlight Talks
One of the topics of the scientific sessions of JENAM 2001
will be the highlight talks. Highlight talks are plenary talks and
should give outstanding young astronomers (not older than 35 years)
the possibility to present their own work to a plenary auditory. There
will be up to eight highlight talks. Highlight talks have been part of
Astronomische Gesellschaft meetings for more than a decade.
Highlight talks will be published in the review series of the
Astronomische Gesellschaft Reviews in Modern Astronomy, volume 15.
