13th Serbian Conference on Spectral Line Shapes in Astrophysics
Belgrade, Serbia, August 23 - 27, 2021


Scientific Rationale

The spectral lines, their widths, and, more generally, the shapes, are powerful tools for emitting/absorbing gas diagnostics in different astrophysical objects, (from the Solar system to the most distant objects in the Universe - quasars. The emission/absorption lines of astrophysical objects are produced over a wide range of distances from an observer and under a wide range of physical and kinematic conditions. Therefore, in astrophysical objects the lines from X-ray (e.g. Fe Ka) to the radio (e.g., the radio recombination lines) wavelength range have been observed. On the other hand, the experimental and theoretical investigations of laboratory plasma have been used in spectroscopic astrophysical research; in particular, the same atomic data are needed for line-shape calculations. This conference will bring together astronomers (observers and theoreticians) and physicists from Serbia and elsewhere to review the present stage of research, with the aim of improving our knowledge in this field, and to better understand the significance of emission/absorption lines for future astrophysical investigations.

The program will focus on:

This is the 13th conference in the series. The official website of the conference is http://servo.aob.rs/scslsa/ or http://www.scslsa.matf.bg.ac.rs. All materials (programme, talks, presentations, photos, etc.) from the previous meetings are available at http://servo.aob.rs/eeditions/SCSLSA.php through Serbian Virtual Observatory (http://servo.aob.rs).

During these uncertain and unprecedented times caused by the novel corona virus, it is hard to plan attendance of conferences. However, we hope that the situation will be significantly better in August 2021. In any case, we intend to organize a blended conference, with on-line and in-person presentations in order to support the attendance of those with limited possibilities to travel. The Organizing committee will monitor the situation with the COVID19 pandemic and in the case of serious situation, the format of the conference will be switched to fully on-line.
