HEDLA 2012 - 9th International Conference on High Energy Density Laboratory Astrophysics

We are pleased to announce the 9th International Conference on High Energy Density Laboratory Astrophysics, to be held April 30-May 4, 2012, on the campus of Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida.
During the past decade, research teams around the world have developed astrophysics-relevant research utilizing high energy-density (HED) facilities such as intense lasers and z-pinches. Research is underway in many areas, such as compressible hydrodynamic mixing, strong shock phenomena, radiation flow, radiative shocks and jets, complex opacities, equations of state, dust formation, superstrong magnetic fields, and relativistic plasmas.
Meeting topics
laboratory experiments
dust and magnetized HED laboratory astrophysics
astrophysical disks, jets, and outflows
stellar, solar, and nuclear astrophysics
stellar explosions, supernovae, GRBs, and supernova remnants
radiation hydrodynamics
warm dense matter
basic plasma physics processes
computations in high-energy density physics applications
All conference presenters will be invited to submit their original papers or reviews for a refereed special issue of the journal Astrophysics and Space Science on the topic 'New Developments in High Energy Density Laboratory Astrophysics.'
