High Resolution Spectroscopy Conference in Tucson (1Sep94)
(from KPNO, NOAO Newsletter No. 39, 1 September 1994)

A Workshop on "High Resolution Spectroscopy with Very Large Telescopes" is
being sponsored jointly by the University of California Observatories/Lick
Observatory, the National Optical Astronomy Observatories and the University
of Texas/McDonald Observatory. It will be held in Tucson on 13-15 October
1994.

The first session of the workshop will be a review of the performances of
some of the the new optical or IR High Resolution Spectrographs that either
are being used or will be used with very large telescopes (8-10m aperture).
The workshop will then focus on the new scientific opportunities for
fundamental advances in a wide variety of fields that will come with the
advent of this new equipment.

The workshop will take place at the Radisson Suites Hotel in Tucson (special
rate $79/night including breakfast and lunch). The workshop registration fee
will be $150. Attendance will be restricted by the available space to 80
persons. The deadline for hotel reservations in order to get the special rate
will be 2 September 1994.

We aim to summarize each section of the meeting and publish the results in
the P.A.S.P. These reports will be written by the those indicated below by
the word "summary." Reprints of these summaries will be made available to all
participants.

Regretfully, we cannot offer to cover either travel or accommodation
expenses.
