22/10/2018
The IAC is organizing a conference in Tenerife about the first four years of Science with the Hertzsprung SONG telescope, the first in an international network, which was inaugurated at the Teide Observatory in October 2014. The Hertzspring SONG telescope, with a primary mirror diameter of 1m, is aimed at studying the stars in our Galactic neighbourbhood, and the exoplanets which orbit them. It is part of the Stellar Observation Networks Group (SONG) which comprises the University of Aarhus (network leader), the University of Copenhagen, the National Astronomical Observatory of China (NAOC) and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). For its 4th anniversary an international conference “Science with SONG, 4 more years” has been organized, which will take place from 23rd to 26th October in the Environmental Reserve Hotel Sandos San Blas, in the Tenerife municipality of Abona. At the meeting the scientific results obtained with this telescope will be presented.
