Past Wetton Workshops
Motivation
As astronomical datasets grow ever larger, new thinking and new tools are required to ensure we get the best from them. This Wetton Workshop will bring together researchers from very different parts of the field - from galaxy evolution, stellar astrophysics, transient astronomy and more - to explore the tools and techniques that will let us that will uncover the surprises in modern surveys. A particular focus is on the discovery of rare and unusual objects and features and the science that can be done with them.
Programme
The program for the workshop is available at:

with talks and discussion on the 19th and 20th June, followed by a hack day on the 21st.
A public talk, open to all, will be given by Prof. David Hogg at 5pm on the 19th June.

Motivation:
The workshop aims at bringing together simulators and observers focussing on all aspects of galaxy formation and evolution,
from the assembly of the first structures at very high-z universe to our own Milky way and its satellites.
Date:
21-22 September 2022
Location:
Sir Michael Dummett Lecture Theatre Complex, Christ Church, Oxford.
Invited speakers:
Dr. Nicolas Martin: The Milky Way and its satellites
Prof. Bianca Poggianti: Local and near-by galaxies: morphology, light and mass distribution, kinematics and stellar populations
Prof. Romeel Davé: The environment in which galaxies live and interact with each other
Prof. James Dunlop: From cosmic noon to the highest redshifts
Prof. Ralf Bender: Concluding remarks
