Hvar Stellar Meeting 2023
Variable and Binary Stars in the Era of Big Data and New Instrumentation
18 - 22 September 2023, Hvar, Croatia
Hvar Astronomical Observatory was originally built as a collaborative project of - at that time Yugoslav and Czechoslovak - astronomical institutions.
The Cassegrain 0.65 m reflector, constructed by Pavel Mayer from the Astronomical Institute of Charles University and equipped with a single-channel photoelectric photometer and the Johnson UBV filters was installed there in the summer of 1972 and the observations with this instrument started on July 29, 1972 and have continued up to the present time. The main observing program was focused on Be stars, however also selected binaries and CP stars were observed there.
In September 2023 it will be forty years since the international Workshop on rapid variability of early-type stars was held at Hvar.
Both the above-mentioned anniversaries inspired us to the idea to repeat a similar workshop exactly after forty years, at the same conference place and with the old and new friends. This time, the workshop is intended to reflect the contemporary era of large ground-based an space surveys. To preserve the working atmosphere of the meeting, we intend to invite only participants approved by the members of the Scientific Organizing Committee and limit the number of participants to 60 persons.
The conference is organised jointly by Astronomical Institute of Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic and Hvar Observatory, Faculty of Geodesy, University of Zagreb, Croatia
