Scientific Meetings

A conference, "H₂ in Space", partly-funded by the project, is being held from 28th September 1999 to 1st October 1999. Topics include:

• Physics of H₂ and HD (spectroscopy, excitation, cooling)
• Condensed states (ice, dimers)
• Formation of H₂ in laboratory experiments
• Formation/destruction of H₂ in space
• Observations in the Infra-red and UV
• Shock waves, photo-dissociation regions
• Extragalactic H₂ and the Hubble sequence
• Primordial H₂ and the first structures

Further information can be obtained from their Web site.
