The workshop will ideally be part of the SPA-Open Clusters collaboration, including also follow-up and collateral projects. Participation of researchers working on stellar clusters and variable stars is welcome. Participation of PhD students and young researchers is encouraged.
The workshop will include presentation of results, discussion of on-going projects and of new proposals/projects and exchange of ideas. The timing is just before the start of the large surveys WEAVE and 4MOST, to which our work is fully complementary.
In-presence participation for the 3 days is preferable; however, on-line participation and/or a shorter stay is perfectly acceptable.
SPA is a Large Programme (Stellar Population Astrophysics, PI Origlia) at the Italian National Telescope Galileo on Canary Islands, which observed stars in open clusters, variable stars and red supergiants with GIARPS (GIANO-B + HARPS-N) . For a list of official SPA publications, see ADS here
