Four Decades of Research on Massive Stars
A Scientific Meeting in the Honour of Anthony F.J. Moffat
Second announcement -- Erratum
11-15 July 2011
Venue: Auberge du Lac Taureau , Lanaudière, Québec, Canada
THERE HAS BEEN A MISTAKE IN THE DATES OF SELECTION OF THE TALKS IN OUR SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT; IT WILL BE IN LATE APRIL/EARLY MAY. WE ARE ALSO EXTENDING THE DEADLINE FOR EARLY REGISTRATION TO 10 APRIL. HERE IS THE CORRECTED VERSION OF THE ANNOUCEMENT.
We are organizing a meeting to celebrate four decades of contributions of Professor Anthony F.J. Moffat to massive-star research. Since his first papers on open clusters in the early 70’s, Tony’s research interests have expanded in many directions to cover a multitude of aspects of massive stars. The meeting will encompass the main subjects on which he has worked during his career. Please go to our Web site for more details.
We invite you to the Auberge du Lac Taureau in the beautiful region of Lanaudière, Québec, Canada to present your latest research and for stimulating presentations and discussions.
Official registration is now open! For those who have pre-registered please note that it is not considered an official registration, but only a statement of interest. You will be able to submit an abstract and appear on the list of participants only after you have officially registered and paid the registration fees. We will have posters, 20-minute contributed talks (around 50) and about a dozen 30-minute invited talks. If necessary, the SOC will decide by LATE APRIL/EARLY MAY, which participants are chosen for contributed talks and which will present a poster.
Our registration fee will be 230$CAN (late fee=300$CAN) and will include a printed copy of the proceedings, which will be published by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific in their Conference Series, taxes, programs and an abstract book.

Web site opens and start of pre-registration: 18 October 2010

Abstract submission deadline: 15 April 2011
