8th Serbian Conference on Spectral Line Shapes in Astrophysics
Divčibare, Serbia, June 6-10 2011


Scientific Rationale

The spectral lines, their widths, and shapes, are powerful tools for emitting/absorbing gas diagnostics in different astrophysical objects (from the Solar system to the most distant objects in the Universe - quasars). The emission/absorption lines of astrophysical objects are produced over a wide range of distances from an observer and under a wide range of physical and kinematical conditions. Therefore in astrophysical objects the lines from X-ray (Fe K) to the radio (radio recombination line) have been observed. On the other hand, the experimental and theoretical investigations of laboratory plasma have been applied in spectroscopic astrophysical research, especially atomic data needed for line shape calculations. This conference will bring together astronomers (observers and theoreticians) and physicists to review the present stage of investigation (Serbia and elsewhere), with the aim of improving our knowledge in this field, and to better understand the significance of emission/absorption lines for future astrophysical investigations.

The program will focus on:
- Stellar and interstellar spectral lines
- Spectral line phenomena in extragalactic objects
- Spectral lines in laboratory plasma

Proceedings The Proceedings of the 8th SCSLSA are published in the Baltic Astronomy vol. 20, no.3-4, 2011 [contents]

Venue


The conference will be held in hotel 'Divcibare' in Divcibare. Divcibare is a small town and a well-known mountain resort situated on Mount Maljen (1104m), south-east of Valjevo, at the altitude of 980 metres above sea level. The local climate is temperate and the locality abounds in flora and fauna, springs and streams, not to mention a fine landscape and a favourable geographical position. Nearby is situated second biggest waterfall in Serbia (30m). The surrounding mountain peaks and saddles are covered with snow for three to four months each year. All this makes Divcibare attractive in summer and winter alike and one of the most popular resorts in Serbia.
