1st Circular "Numerical Simulations in Astronomy 2002" (NSA2002) http://www.cc.nao.ac.jp/nsa2002/ A Satellite Meeting of the IAU 8th Asian-Pacific Regional Meeting Conference place: National Center of Sciences/Hitotsubashi Memorial Hall Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan Dates: July 5-6, 2002 Supported by Astronomical Data Analysis Center and Division of Theoretical Astrophysics of National Astronomical Observatory of Japan ---------------------------------------------------------------- The Scientific Organizing Committee: Tomoyuki Hanawa (Nagoya U., chair) Youqiu Hu (U. Sci. and Tech. of China) Yipeng Jing (Shanghai Astron. Obs.) Junichiro Makino (U. Tokyo) Joseph J. Monaghan (Monash U.) Michael L. Norman (UCSD) Dongsu Ryu (Chungnam National U.) Kazunari Shibata (Kyoto U.) Kohji Tomisaka (NAOJ) The Local Organizing Committee: Takashi Ito (NAOJ) Eiichiro Kokubo (NAOJ) Tomoharu Suzuki (U. Tokyo) Kohji Tomisaka (NAOJ, chair) ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Purpose of the meeting] "Numerical Simulations in Astronomy 2002 (NSA2002)" is aimed at summarizing latest numerical simulations in astrophysics. It is held as a satellite meeting of the IAU 8th Asian-Pacific Regional Meeting (APRM2002). Those who attend NSA2002 are assumed to attend also APRM2002. Those who are interested in NSA2002 are recommended strongly to visit the web page of APRM2002, URL is http://www.astro.isas.ac.jp/conference/aprm2002/ and register yourself as soon as possible. All the information on the conference site, travel, visa, and local area will be given there. The LOC of this satellite meeting covers only the talks given in the satellite meeting. [Style of the meeting] "Numerical Simulations in Astronomy 2002" is interdisciplinary in the sense that it is not intended to focus on any specific astronomical object. It consists of about 10 invited talks and another 10 contributed talks. Each invited talk summarizes recent advance in a specific theme. It is 30 minutes long and will be followed by 10 minutes discussion. Each contributed talk features recent interesting numerical simulations and technics which bring us new findings in astronomy and astrophysics. It is 15 minutes long and will be followed by 5 minutes discussion. Those who wish to present poster papers are recommended to submit them to the main conference. We do NOT have a poster session in this satellite meeting. [List of the invited speakers] Following is the list of invited speakers. Y. Hu (U. Sci. Tech. of China, China) Magnetohydrodynamic Catastrophe in Solar Atmosphere Y. Jing (Shanghai Astron. Obs., China) Cosmological Hydrodynamical Simulation J. Makino (U. Tokyo, Japan) N-body Simulation with GRAPE D. Ryu (Chungnam National U., Korea) Magnetohydrodynamical Simulations of ISM R.

Yamada (Osaka U., Japan) Type II Supernova (TBD) Adaptive Mesh Refinement M. Norman (UCSD) Summary Talk [Call for papers] We call for oral papers. Those who wish to present a contributed talk are requested to submit the abstract according to the form given at the end of this first circular. SOC selects about 10 papers according to the abstract before April 30, 2002. Le us remind you that we do NOT have a poster session in this meeting. Those who wish to present poster papers are asked to submit them to the main conference, even if the subjects are more suitable for the satellite meeting. And please keep in mind that the number of oral talks is restricted. [Registration] Although registration to the main conference is charged, no additional charges are requested requested to the participants of NSA2002. As LOC of NSA2002, we need your name and contact address for further announcement. If you are interested in this satellite meeting, you are kindly requested to submit e-mail to nsa2002@cc.nao.ac.jp after filling the application form attached at the end of this first circular. Let us remind you again that you need register yourself at the web site of the main conference, http://www.astro.isas.ac.jp/conference/aprm2002/. It will provide you information on the conference site and others. Please send us e-mail of registration after registration to the main conference. [Proceedings] Proceedings of NSA2002 will be published from the Astronomical Data Analysis Center (ADAC) of the Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ).
