DFG Priority Program 1573

Physics of the Interstellar Medium

Splinter session

Annual Meeting of the Astronomische Gesellschaft,
Hamburg, September 24-28, 2012


AG Annual Meeting Poster 2012 The DFG priority programme 1573 "The Physics of the Interstellar Medium" was newly established at the end of 2011 and was ment to focus the effort of the German research community in the field of the interstellar medium. The aim of this splinter session is to start a series of meetings to bring together scientists who address similar problems of ISM research with various techniques: observations, laboratory experiments and simulations. We will reserve ample time for discussion on how to combine these various findings in order to create a consistent picture of the most important physical processes of the turbulent ISM.
