FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT: SSC 2005 Conference ----------------------------------------- The Spitzer Science Center is pleased to announce its 2nd annual science symposium: "IR Diagnostics of Galaxy Evolution". The symposium will be held in Pasadena, CA from 14-16 November 2005. The symposium will focus on the use of empirical IR data (spectra and photometry) to understand the physical conditions and evolution of star-formation in galaxies out to high redshift, with an emphasis on Spitzer data and complementary ground and space-based observations. In addition to a number of invited talks, there will be opportunities for contributed talks and posters. Space will be reserved for late-breaking observational results, from Spitzer Cycle 2 General Observers who will start their observations in July 2005. Limited funding will be available to support student and postdoc participation. Registration will open in June.
