The 3rd LAMOST-Kepler/TESS workshop

Synergies between ground-based spectroscopic surveys and space-based photometric missions

Beijing (China) May 21-24, 2024

This is the first formal announcement of the international conference "The 3rd LAMOST-Kepler/TESS workshop: Synergies between ground-based spectroscopic surveys and space-based photometric missions", which will be held in Beijing (China) from the 21th to the 24st of May, 2024. 

The aim of this workshop is to bring the community together to share their highlight results and provide foreseeing insights in research based on the LAMOST spectroscopic survey data, especially combined with the time-series photometric data of the missions such as Kepler, K2 and TESS. The scientific program will cover a broad range of research topics and is planned to include the following eight sessions: 

General talks about the surveys, from LAMOST to related ones 

Stellar parameter determination 

Asteroseismology 

Binary stars 

Stellar activity 

Peculiar stars 

Exoplanets 

Other surveys and Synergies

Pre-announcement

The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) is a National Major Scientific Project undertaken by the Chinese Academy of Science, equipped with 4000 optical fibers. LAMOST has carried out regular surveys since 2012. Until June of 2023, more than 20 million low- (R~1800) and medium-resolution (R~7500) spectra have been collected during the past 11 years, which provide nutritious ingredients for improving the knowledge of various fields in astronomy, in particular the Galaxy archaeology and stellar physics. 

A series of three dedicated projects have been intensively performed to the targets in the Kepler and K2 fields, a.k.a., the low-resolution LAMOST-Kepler and the LAMOST-K2 projects as well as the medium-resolution LAMOST-Kepler/K2 survey. In addition, the large sky coverage of LAMOST has led to high-quality spectra for a large fraction of TESS targets. Synergies between ground-based spectroscopic surveys (e.g., LAMOST, APOGEE, GALAH, Gaia-ESO) and space-based photometric missions (e.g., Kepler, K2, TESS) are of paramount importance for research in the fields of asteroseismology, exoplanets, binary stars and the stellar populations of the Milky Way.

Following the tremendous development of photometric and spectroscopic surveys, including the space-missions from Kepler to TESS and the LAMOST from low-resolution to medium-resolution spectroscopic observations, and the significant research progress achieved based on the survey data, the third LAMOST-Kepler/TESS workshop plans to bring the community together to share their highlight results and provide foreseeing insights to the LAMOST surveys in next decades. The workshop is scheduled to take place on 21-24 May 2024 at a campus of Beijing Normal University in the suburb of Beijing (China). The scientific program will cover a broad range of research topics.
