Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to a Gaia-PESSTO scientific workshop,
which will take place at Queen's University Belfast from 5th-7th
February 2014.

Gaia will be ESA's milestone astrometric mission, and is due for
launch in the near future. Gaia will repeatedly map the whole sky, and
will find many transient events, including thousands of
supernovae. Getting ready for this influx of Gaia data is now timely.

This workshop will bring together the key European groups
investigating supernovae, both in understanding the physics of the
objects, and their use as probes of the nearby Universe and for
cosmology. The meeting will focus on the significant impact that Gaia
will shortly have in revealing a significant yield of thousands of
newly discovered supernoave, generating statistically significantly
samples of hitherto rare events, such as super-luminous
supernovae. The workshop will be a key milestone in the organisation
of the follow-up and exploitation of the Gaia supernovae, where
scientific and operational priorities will be agreed. The workshop
will lead to the development of a specific 'Gaia supernova roadmap'
defining the follow-up campaign to ensure maximal scientific return
from the Gaia supernova sample.

Thanks to support from the Gaia Research for European Astronomy
Training ((GREAT) networking programme, we are able to provide limited
funding for participation in the workshop for students and early
career researchers (within 5 years of PhD). There will be no
registration fee for any participant.

The registration and call for contributed talks is now open on the
PESSTO wiki pages:

https://sites.google.com/a/pessto.org/wiki/pessto-wiki/pessto-meetings/gaia---pessto-great-esf-workshop

and closes on December 15th. There is the opportunity for a limited
number of contributed talks and there will also be space available for
posters. The total number of participants is capped at 45.

We look forward to seeing you in Belfast in February.

Best regards on behalf of the SOC,

Stephen Smartt
Mark Sullivan
Nic Walton

       A second announcement for the GREAT-ESF workshop

         Gaia and the Unseen The Brown Dwarf Question

           at Torino University on March 24-25-26 2014

             Webpage: http://GaiaBDs.oato.inaf.it/

   This is an update on the above workshop which will look at
   all aspects of what the ESA mission Gaia can do for brown
   dwarf science.

   A number of invited overviews have been included in the
   program and the morning parallel sessions have been
   allocated. The preliminary schedule is available at the
   meeting webpage. There is still ample room for submitted
   talks related to the meeting topic. Registration and
   abstract submission by December 20th is required to be
   considered for a contributed talk.

   Poster contributions will be on display all three days of
   the meeting. There will be two prizes for the posters that
   best combine aesthetic, educational, didactic and
   scientific content. This will be decided by a subset of
   the SOC and announced during the social dinner on the
   Tuesday.  Each day at the end of the morning session
   people will be able to briefly summarise their poster for
   all meeting participants.

   The proceedings from the meeting will be published as part
   of the Memorie della Societa' Astronomica Italiana (SAIt)
   series.  The presentations and contributions will also be
   published online on the meeting site.

   The meeting has no registration fee and there is a small
   amount of support for the attendance of participants if
   needed.  This can be applied for as part of the
   registration process by December 20th.

   On the meeting website, you can download the poster to
   print in A2 format and display at your local institution.
   Alternatively, you can email your postal address to
   gaiabds at oato.inaf.it and we will send you a printed
   version.

   All further announcements will only be sent to registered
   participants. The registration will only be possible until
   February 20th. The webpage will be kept updated with any
   major changes.

                     Web links.
