INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM AND
WORKSHOP ON ASTROCHEMISTRY

Welcome

We are happy to announce the International Symposium and Workshop on Astrochemistry - ISWA. This event will take place from July 3rd to 8th, 2016 at the Hotel Fazenda Solar das Andorinhas in Campinas-SP, Brazil.

The main goal of this event is get together experimentalists, observers and modelists interested to contribute to the progress of the knowledge in astrochemistry. Additionally, during the symposium, we will have two hands-on workshops: one focusing on experimental astrochemistry and other focusing on observations. The hands-on workshop will have activities about the proposal submissions to the LNLS (Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory) laboratory, data reduction and to LLAMA (Large Latin American Millimeter Array) and ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter Array) radio observatories. During this meeting we will also have an opportunity to follow a real astrochemical experiment (in real time) at one of the beam lines of the LNLS that simulates the interaction between UV and soft X-rays with astrophysical ice analogues.

The Symposium will be held at the Historic Farm-Hotel "Solar das Andorinhas" located in Campinas, SP, Brazil (near the Brazilian Synchrotron lab). The participants of the meeting will have a thematic conference dinner with a typical Brazilian winter party called "Festa Julina" with includes bonfire and typical drinks and foods. www.hotelfazendasolardasandorinhas.com/

Rationale

Since the 1970s, millimeter and submillimeter observations have detected rotational transitions of over 160 molecules, including hydrocarbons, alcohols, acids, aldehydes, ketones, amines, ethers, and other organic molecules. Additionally, infrared ground-based, airborne, and space-based spectroscopic observations have found evidence of complex carbonaceous compounds with aromatic and aliphatic structures in circumstellar and interstellar media. Now, the astrochemistry is living a new era thanks to new instruments such as the Herschel Space Observatory, the Atacama Large Millimeter and Submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the Long Latin American Array (LLAMA). New technologies opened new spectral windows and improved sensitivity and resolution, allowing the detection of new molecules and providing a more precise view of where they are formed.

New advances have also been made in the experimental astrochemistry, for example, through studies of astrophysical ices processing by UV/X-rays, as well as fast electrons and cosmic rays analogues. The results from these experiments indicated that many species can be produced or stored in ices (H₂O, CO, CO₂,NH₃, etc). These results can and have been used to guide new astronomical observations and an effort have been made to include such processes on chemical models.

Chemical models that include results from observations and experimental, including several computational codes such as Astrochem, RADEX, KROME and RADMC-3D, etc., have been producing important results, improving our understanding of the physicochemical processes that are occurring in space.

The amazing advances that the synergy between observational, experimental and theoretical can produce motivates this symposium, which will gather experts in each of these branches to present and discuss the latest results and the future developments in Astrochemistry.

Main topics:

-Astrophysical ices - Spectroscopy, Molecular processes, Energetic Processing (UV/Vis, X-rays, Electrons, Ions);
- Formation of complex species in ices - Astrobiology;
- Surface Chemistry, Thermal programmed desorption;
- Gas phase experiments on astrochemistry;
- Observation of molecules in astrophysical environments (radio, IR);
- Astrochemical models, abundances, chemical evolution.

Venue

Located 99 km away from São Paulo city, Campinas is a scientific pole in Brazil, responding by around 15 % of all scientific production of the country. Located in this city is the Campinas University (UNICAMP), one of the main Brazilian universities, and the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory, one of the laboratories where experiments in Astrochemistry and Astrobiology are carried out in Brazil.

Campinas is a Brazilian municipality in São Paulo State, part of the country's Southeast Region. According to the 2010 Census, the city's population is 1,080,999, making it the fourteenth most populous Brazilian city and the third most populous municipality in São Paulo state. The city's metropolitan area, Greater Campinas, contains nineteen municipalities with a total population of 2,232,297 people. See more about Campinas in the following link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campinas
