Feedback in the Magellanic Clouds

About The Event

Monday, October 5-Wednesday, October 7, 2015

The goal of this workshop is to bring together the communities studying feedback in the Magellanic Clouds on both stellar and galactic scales. As the nearest gas-rich dwarf galaxies, the Magellanic Clouds offer a superb opportunity for studying the radiative, chemical, and mechanical feedback from star formation at high spatial resolution. We will discuss recent multi-wavelength observations that trace the impact of star formation in the Magellanic Clouds on the surrounding interstellar medium, and on the larger-scale evolution of the two galaxies. A broader objective is to explore the role of feedback in the Magellanic Clouds in the context of other dwarf galaxies. Topics to be addressed include:

• MC stellar feedback in mechanical, radiative, and chemical forms
• MC feedback on cluster scales
• MC feedback on galactic scales
• MC feedback from theoretical and numerical perspectives
• MC feedback in the context of other dwarf galaxies

Space permitting, workshop talks are open to astronomers from all local (Maryland & Washington DC) institutions without registering.

The registration fee is $150.00 USD, and will cover breakfast and coffee breaks. A separate fee will be charged for the workshop dinner to be held on October 6, 2015.

Important dates:

• August 31, 2015: Registration closes. Registration will close sooner if maximum capacity is reached.
• October 5, 2015: Workshop begins

Due to unexpected demand for attendance, registration is currently limited only to those who submitted abstracts. Others interested in participating should email fimc_workshop@stsci.edu to be added to the wait list.
