Cloudy: EMISSION LINES IN ASTROPHYSICS, FROM GASEOUS NEBULAE TO QUASARS
Cloudy: EMISSION LINES IN ASTROPHYSICS, FROM GASEOUS NEBULAE TO QUASARS
The purpose of this symposium is to celebrate the scientific career of Gary Ferland. A substantial fraction of his research career has been devoted to the development of the code CLOUDY and its applications to the study of the interstellar medium.
CLOUDY has been applied to a wide variety of astronomical environments including: photodissociation regions, molecular clouds, H II regions, planetary nebulae, novae and supernovae remnants, active galactic nuclei, and starburst galaxies.
During five days we will review those areas of astrophysics where the impact of CLOUDY has been important and we will try to glance into the future of interstellar medium research.
The proposed program is aimed at the most important issues related to the modeling of emission line interpretation under different astrophysical regimes. In particular the topics to cover would be:
- Modeling Gaseous Nebulae
- Atomic Data for Astrophysics
- Active Galactic Nuclei Emission
- Interstellar and circumstellar matter
- Novae and Supernovae Remnants
- H II Regions
- Planetary Nebulae
- Intergalactic Medium
- Photodissociation Regions
- Extending modelling capabilities
