Proposers: R Morganti and E Sadler
This meeting was held 10-12 December 1997 at the State Library of NSW.
There were about 110 participants, with approximately 50 international visitors
attending. The conference focussed on current and planned surveys of the
southern sky in wavelength ranges covering most of the electromagnetic spectrum.
In particular, the meeting assesed the impact of these surveys on the science
to be conducted with the new-generation eight metre class telescopes being
constructed by ESO and other observatories. These telescopes will be able
to view the very early universe, including the first epoch of galaxy formation.
The meeting was judged succesful in bringing together a diverse range of
observers to discuss areas of collaboration. Of particular note was an impromptu
discussion aimed at co-ordinating observations of the southern Hubble deep
field. A number of distinguished international visitors attended the meeting,
and funding received from the MNRF Program was used to support travel to
Australia by these key participants. The proceedings of the workshop will
be published by Springer-Verlag and will be edited by Drs R Morganti and
W Couch; MNRF funding will be acknowledged in all publications arising from
the workshop.
