Star formation is the fundamental process by which galaxies took shape, from the primordial conditions of the early universe to the complex structures we observe today. By examining theoretical perspectives across different epochs, we gain insights into how stars form, how they evolve, and how they impact the interstellar medium.
Starting with the latest developments in the field of star formation, this conference is expected to bring together theorists and observers from different disciplines to share their insights into this crucial area of astrophysics.
The planned sessions aim to provide a broad overview of star formation, covering the key areas of Galactic star formation, Magnetic fields, Cosmic rays and Astrochemistry. The discussion will also focus on the Early Universe followed by Chemical evolution and Nucleosynthesis, to explore the enrichment of elements underlying the diversity of stars and galaxies. A final session on the History of Astronomy will consider the last centuries of discoveries, relating historical developments to current theoretical knowledge.
This conference brings us together to acknowledge the career of Daniele Galli, whose work has advanced research on these topics, contributing to our knowledge of star formation in its many facets.
Participants who have registered for the conference will soon receive a link to pay the registration fee of €200, including coffee breaks and the aperitif on May, 8th.
