Objective and Scope:
The objective of CPS International School of Planetary Sciences is to promote education and research in planetary sciences for highly motivated graduate students and young researchers worldwide. It will offer them an opportunity to interact with leading scientists in a specific field of the year. Note that “Planetary Sciences” includes astronomy (astrophysics, astrochemistry, astrobiology, etc.), geosciences, space science, and other related fields.
Topic of the coming school
"Theory of Stellar Evolution and Its Applications
-- From the First Stars to Planet-Hosting Stars and Gas Giant Planets"
The main part of the school will be a series of lectures on the structure and evolution of stars with various masses including gas giant planets and on the effects of mass loss and stellar rotation upon them. Then a series of lectures follow on their contributions to the nucleosynthesis and chemical evolution of the Milky Way and dwarf galaxies in the local group and to the evolutionary characteristics of planet-hosting stars from theoretical and observational viewpoints.
The development of our understandings in these fields has been achieved by recent observations with large ground-based telescopes and space telescopes and owing to large-scaled surveys of metal-poor stars, supernova searches and searches for exo-planetary systems.
CPS 7th International School has a special session dedicated to the memory of Prof. Chushiro Hayashi who was one of the founders of the theory of stellar evolution and passed away in 2010.
Internationally well-established experts in various fields will review recent progress in our understandings of those fields.
