   FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT


       Workshop On the Occasion of the Retirement

                        of Harm Jan HABING



      FUTURE DIRECTIONS IN AGB RESEARCH

                     Leiden, the Netherlands
                       April 10 and 11, 2003


Workshop Objectives:

Marking the retirement of Harm Jan Habing as Professor of Astrophysics from
Leiden University, the Leiden Observatory organizes an International
Workshop on April 10 and 11, 2003.
The subject of this Workshop is an area of research that has become
particularly close to him over the last few decades: the Asymptotic Giant
Branch (AGB) Stars.
Although AGB stars play an important role in tracing Galactic Structure,
especially that of the inner parts of the Milky Way Galaxy, this Workshop
will focus on the dying stars themselves: their nature, their composition,
their evolution.

                         Major Topics Include:

 o The Stars Themselves: Interior Structure, Atmospheres
        o The Stellar Environment: Mass Loss, Circumstellar Envelopes
        o Evolution: Synthetic Evolution, Post-AGB Stars
        o AGB Populations: Surveys, Local Group Galaxies, Binaries


                         Organizing Committee:

 F.P. Israel, E.F. van Dishoeck, H.J. van Langevelde, J.Lub,
        M. Messineo, M. Sevenster, W. Vlemmings

             More details will be available in the near future.
             A call for contributions will be released in fall.

                    See also our Workshop web page:
