Dear colleagues, This is a reminder that the deadline for abstract submission for the conference "Peering through an opaque ISM - Ferrara 2025" is 31 March 2025.
The conference will take place on September 1-5, 2025 in Ferrara (Italy) [1].
The rationale is focused on the dense, obscured interstellar medium (ISM) in distant galaxies. Obscuration is a complex and ubiquitous phenomenon in astrophysics that often poses challenges, yet it offers a variety of probes of the properties of the ISM in various bands. We aim to review the different probes of the obscured ISM (such as infrared emission, extinction, and gamma-ray bursts) to constrain its physical properties through the most recent observational results from JWST, ALMA and otherfacilities and state-of-the-art theoretical approaches, such as numerical simulations. We aim to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and advance our understanding of the interplay between different aspects of interstellar obscuration within a broad astrophysical context.
The invited Speakers include: Susanna Vergani - GEPI, Observatoire de Paris, France Matus Rybak - Leiden Observatory, The Netherlands Hiddo Algera - Hiroshima Astrophysical Science Center, Japan Francesca Matteucci - Università di Trieste, Italy Leindert Boogaard - MPIA, Heidelberg, Germany Anita Zanella - INAF OAS Bologna, Italy Roberto Decarli - INAF OAS Bologna, Italy Kazushi Iwasawa - ICCUB, Barcelona, Spain Livia Vallini - INAF OAS Bologna, Italy Irene Shivaei - CAB, CSIC-INTA, Madrid, Spain
