Second Chilean Gemini Users Meeting & Workshop
La Serena, September 6 to 8, 2017
Universidad de La Serena

  ----First announcement----

Since the first and only Chilean Gemini users meeting held in Santiago  
in 2009, not only the Chilean astronomical community has kept growing  
at a dazzling pace, but also Gemini South has seen many changes with  
the commissioning of Flamingos-2, GSAOI and GPI, all of which are  
operational and delivering exciting new results.

This long overdue meeting will gather current and prospective Gemini  
users to share their new results using Gemini data, learn about the  
current and future opportunities with Gemini and stimulate new  
collaborations.

New instrumentation means new opportunities but also new challenges to  
the users. The second and third days of this meeting will be a  
workshop where the participants will learn how to reduce GSAOI and  
Flamingos-2 images, GMOS-IFU and GMOS-MOS data through guided  
tutorials and hands-on work led by Gemini staff. The workshop will end  
with an open session where the participants will be able to bring  
their own data and discuss issues with Gemini staff.

The science meeting will be held on September 6th at the Anfiteatro 1  
of the Departamento de Física y Astronomía of the Universidad de La  
Serena, while the workshop will be on the same venue the 7th and 8th.  
There will be no registration fee nor poster sessions. Grad students  
coming from outside La Serena will receive lodging at no cost, and  
financial support for travel. Lunch will also be provided for all the  
workshop attendees. To ensure a fruitful interaction between speakers  
and participants, the science meeting will be limited to 50 people,  
while the capacity of the workshop will be limited to 30 people.   
Preference for the workshop will be given to grad students and early  
career researchers, especially those working or about to work with  
Gemini data.
Please register in the web site listed below. The deadline for  
registration will be July 20 for those requiring financial support,  
while August 15 for those not requiring support. The final program  
will be announced later that month.
