Welcome!

The seventh OPTICON Gaia Science Alerts workshop will be held in Utrecht, Netherlands, 7-9 December 2016.

The topics this year include:

  • present and discuss scientific results from the Gaia Alerts so far
  • discuss further scientific drivers and dedicated topics from Gaia Alerts (TDEs, microlensing events, SNe, CVs)
  • discuss synergies between major large-scale transient surveys in order to maximise the scientific outcome of the Gaia Alerts
  • present the status and the organisation of the H2020 OPTICON follow-up network
  • receive feedback from the users to Gaia Alerts
  • discuss and recognise future steps in improving the follow-up programmes

Due to space limitations this time the workshop will be limited to 50 people only. Everyone interested in attending the meeting will have a chance to apply for an invitation, which then will be reviewed by the organizers.
