UBACHS Download Second Circular as pdf Scientific Program High resolution rotational, vibrational, and electronic spectroscopy of molecules (radicals, ions, complexes, clusters, ...). Molecular dynamics. Theory assisting the prediction, simulation, and interpretation of spectra. New techniques for high-resolution spectroscopy. Applications to atmospheric sciences, astrophysics, planetology, combustion, gas-phase biomolecules, metrology and fundamental physics, cold molecules. SOCIAL PROGRAM FOR ACCOMPANYING PERSONS A social program will be organized for accompanying persons. It will consist of various sightseeing activities. More detail will be given later on the conference's web site. POSTER SESSIONS The poster sessions will take place in the Hall of the "Hotel dei Congressi". A board (1.5 m wide and 1 m high) will be available for each participant wishing to present his/her work. ELECTRONIC ABSTRACT SUBMISSION (EAS) Abstracts for the Colloquium must be submitted electronically as a text file formatted as a LaTeX2ε source. Abstracts submitted in any other way WILL NOT be accepted. We have chosen this system in order to get a unified presentation for the STABIA09 abstract book. The EAS program is a modified version of the EMSS software created by Prof. T. A. Miller and Dr. S. Panov for the OSU Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy. It was kindly provided to us by Prof. T. A. Miller from the Ohio State University (Columbus, Ohio, USA). The abstract electronic submission system will be opened at the end of April, 2009. The deadline for submission is June 15th, 2009 . We indicate below where to find all the necessary information needed to submit your abstract(s) for STABIA09. Please read the instructions carefully. Electronic abstract submission is a very simple process. You will only need to write a simple text (ASCII) file formatted in the correct way. Note that there is no need for you to install LaTeX on your computer. We provide a test facility so that you can test the LaTeX compilation of your abstract and see the result online, exactly as it will appear in the STABIA09 abstract book. The instructions for electronic submission of abstracts can be found on the dedicated Web page, http://hrms.na.inoa.it/eas/. Please note that any abstract for which none of the authors has registered as a participant to the Colloquium will not be retained in the final STABIA09 abstract book. Amat-Mills AWARD: The 2009 Amat-Mills Award will be awarded to a young spectroscopist either working for a PhD or having completed it within the last 12 months (at the time of the meeting) . The award will consist of a diploma and the recipient will be given a selection of books. The candidates must present a regular poster at the "21th Colloquium on High Resolution Molecular Spectroscopy" on their PhD work and assume the sole responsibility for the presentation during the entire session. Applications are limited to one per research group and must be nominated by the PhD research supervisor who will briefly give the reasons for the nomination (1/2 page) . This information, together with the start and expected end dates of the PhD, and a printed copy of the abstract of the poster to be selected for the competition, should be sent to the local organizer before June 15th, 2009 . The abstract itself must also be submitted as indicated above before June 15th, 2009 .
