FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT       IAU SYMPOSIUM 376
 
     Budapest, Hungary, 25 – 29 APRIL 2022
      
     At the cross-roads of astrophysics and cosmology:
     Period–luminosity relations in the 2020s
     IAU Symposium 376, 25 – 29 April 2022
     Venue: Danubius Hotel Helia **** Budapest, Hungary

     and a related International Spring School 20–23 April 2022
Modern methods of cosmic distance determination
     Venue: Konkoly Observatory, Budapest, Hungary
 
     _SCIENTIFIC RATIONALE:_
 
     The period–luminosity relation (PLR) is an important relationship
between the fundamental
     physical properties of a diverse range of variable stars. Most
recognizable is the PLR of
     Cepheids, which renders classical Cepheids primary distance indicators,
thus establishing the
     traditional cosmic distance scale. In addition, tight and well-defined
relationships also exist
     between the periods and luminosities of other pulsating stars,
including RR Lyrae-type
     variables, Type II and anomalous Cepheids, δ Scuti-type pulsators, and
Mira variables.
     Curiously, not only pulsating stars exhibit PLRs: well-defined,
long-established relationships
     between (orbital) periods and luminosities also exist for contact
binaries of W Ursae Majoris
     (EW) type. At this Symposium we will discuss recent results—both
observational and
     theoretical—achieved by the continued scrutiny of the detailed
characteristics of the PLR,
     including its shape, calibration, and dependence on stellar parameters
and chemical
     abundances; intrinsic PLR widths may offer unique insights into the
physical processes shaping
     these relations and the underlying physical properties of the stars
contributing to these
     relationships (stellar structure, atmospheric parameters, pulsation
properties). This topic is very
     timely, given the wealth of empirical data recently obtained using
state-of-the-art ground and
     space-based facilities, high-impact Gaia data releases, the impending
operations of the James
      
     Webb Space Telescope, and — on slightly longer timescales — the
next-generation ground-
     and space-based observatories (E-ELT, TMT, GMT, LSST, PLATO).
      
     _KEY TOPICS OF THE CONFERENCE:_
     - Stellar variability
     - Pulsation physics
     - Stellar structure and atmospheric dynamics
     - Cosmic distance scale
     - Hubble parameter
     - Gaia, JWST, ground-based time-domain surveys: Vera Rubin Observatory,
VISTA,
     PanSTARRS, OGLE, etc.

     The week before the conference (20-23 April 2022) we organize an
International Spring
     School for PhD students, postdocs and early career scientists with
prominent lecturers and
     hands-on sessions on the following (and related topics):
 
     - Distance determination methods near and far
     - Gaia revolution in distance measurements
     - PL relations of pulsating stars
     - Hubble constant and Hubble tension
     - Current view of the structure of our Galaxy using field stars, open
clusters
     - Exotic new methods of distance determination (gravitational lensing,
baryon acoustic
     oscillations, gamma-ray bursts as distance tracers)
     - Working with the Gaia catalog
     - Machine learning and its applications
 
     We invite everyone to join us and discuss recent developments in the
field.
 
     Kind regards,
