FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
STELLAR DYNAMICS: FROM CLASSIC TO MODERN
August 21 - 27, 2000
Sobolev Astronomical Institute, Saint Petersburg State University, Russia
SCIENTIFIC RATIONALE
Stellar
dynamics provides the basis for our understanding of dynamical processes in galaxies and
star clusters. There has been a lot of recent progress in the observational foundations of
stellar dynamics and in its theory. HIPPARCOS has provided precise proper motions and
parallaxes, the existence of galactic dark matter has been confirmed by microlensing, and
detailed photometric and kinematic studies of galaxies have clarified their evolutionary
processes. Numerical simulations have been used effectively to study major problems such
as relaxation in gravitating systems and the stability of equilibrium figures. Thus it is
both timely and desirable for an international meeting to discuss all the recent progress
in the dynamics of sellar systems.
Many of these problems were the subject of pioneering studies by
Professor K.F.Ogorodnikov (1900 - 1985). The proposed meeting is being organized by the
St.Petersburg State University, assisted by an international Scientific Organizing
Committee, and marks the centennial of Professor K.F.Ogorodnikov's birth. His text is a
classic in the field of stellar dynamics and kinematics, and the world-knowned
St.Petersburg school of stellar dynamics and kinematics (T.A.Agekian, V.A.Antonov and
others) was founded and grew under his organization and leadership.
Since the breakup of the former Soviet Union and under present
economic conditions, Russian astronomers have very few opportunities to meet their
colleagues from abroad, and even their fellow countrymen. We hope this meeting will give
them, and their international colleagues, the opportunity for vigorous discussion of
progress and the exchange of new ideas.

SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATION
The
conference will be organized by the Sobolev Astronomical Institute of St.Petersburg State
University in the building of the Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics. The scientific
sessions and a memorial session will be held during the four days, Tuesday to Friday, 22 -
25 August, 2000. There will be tours on Monday, August 21 and Saturday, August 26. We
suggest arrival in St. Petersburg on either August 20 or 21, and departure on August 27.
There will be facilities for showing slides and
transparencies. Please let the organizers know of any other needs. There will be space for
conference participants to display poster papers.
REGISTRATION
Registration fees: $ 200 for foreign participants, $ 100 for their accompanying guests; 200 rubles for Russian and CIS participants, 100 rubles for their accompanying guests. Fees should be paid in cash on arrival. They include the costs for conference materials and coffee-breaks and, we hope, a copy of the conference proceedings. They do not include the costs of meals, the closing dinner, or any tours.
CONFERENCE LOCATION
The Conference will be held on the St.Petersburg State University Campus in Peterhof, which is about 35 km from the center of St.Petersburg. St.Petersburg is a world-renowned cultural centre and very beautiful city situated at delta of the Neva river. It was founded by Peter the Great in 1703. The University Campus can be reached either by electric train or by bus from the Baltic Station in St.Petersburg. Both take about one hour.
ACCOMODATION
Conference participants and their guests may stay at the University Campus hotels. Current rates for accommodation are: single room $ 50 per day for one person, double room $ 30 per day for one person. Accommodation is available also in a student dormitory at 150 rubles (nearly $6) per day.
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
We invite all colleagues who are interested in stellar dynamics to participate in our conference. Please complete the following form, and return it to Dr. N.P.Pitjev by February 1, 2000.
