Welcome to IAU Beijing General Assembly XXVIII
It is a pleasure to invite and welcome the members and guests of the International Astronomical Union to the 2012 Beijing General Assembly. The Executive Committee, with the help of the Division Presidents, has crafted an excellent scientific Programme of talks, discussions, planning sessions and informal gatherings that will focus on research results and new projects. Opportunities will abound for you to socialize with colleagues and meet new people who may be interested in your own research. In particular, the IAU will continue with its recent efforts to bring young scientists and new members into the community of international astronomy via official luncheons and Programmed activities.It is fitting that the General Assembly is being held in China with its rich, historic tradition in astronomy that now continues with a focus on innovative projects, many of which are benefiting from the steadily increasing number of scientists in this part of the world that are being attracted to astrophysics. This GA is the second that has been held in Asia, and I am impressed by the large number of astronomers from this region who are active in the IAU and taking part in this General Assembly.The IAU has been busy with a number of initiatives the past three years that include the outstandingly successful United Nations/UNESCO International Year of Astronomy 2009, the production of the Strategic Plan “Astronomy for the Developing World” and the creation of the Office of Astronomy for Development in Cape Town that is a key to the IAU long-range plan to use education and outreach for purposes
5
of development in emerging countries. These efforts are notable for the way in which they have brought astronomy to the public, and their success has been due to thousands of volunteers, including many IAU members, who have worked hard on the various projects. The Executive Committee is committed to making the IAU as effective an organization as possible, especially in view of constantly changing technology. Several important changes to the way the IAU operates will be presented and voted upon at the Business Meetings. The first is the approval of electronic voting for all members on scientific issues, whether present or not at the General Assembly. The second is a proposed re-organization of the current divisional structure, produced with the active participation of Division Presidents and their OCs following extensive consultation. The issues will be explained and discussed in the main sessions, in the daily newspaper, and in a ‘town hall’ luncheon session.Truly this is an exciting time to be an astronomer. The challenges that face us would fill many pages: the expansion of the universe is accelerating; the nature of most of its mass and energy is not yet determined; there are untold numbers of planets having unimaginable properties, and some of them may even harbor life. But as far as we know, there is only one planet that is hosting the IAU General Assembly in Beijing this August. Although that uniqueness may not qualify as a result that merits publication in a refereed journal, to those of you who can be a part of it ---- a hearty welcome!
Robert Williams IAU President

Welcome to Beijing, welcome to China!
It is a great honor and pleasure for us, as co-chairs of the National Organizing Committee, to welcome you to attend the XXVIII General Assembly (GA) of the International Astronomical Union (IAU). This year marks the 90th anniversary of the first IAU GA and the founding of the Chinese Astronomical Society. Holding the triennial assembly in Beijing is of far-reaching significance.China has long been one of the major cradles of human civilization. With over 4,000 years’ development, the Chinese ancient astronomy experienced a brilliant period of spectacular prosperity. This precious history not only established a profound foundation for the development of Chinese astronomy and bequeathed to us as a priceless legacy, but also serves as an otherwise unavailable source of records for modern astronomical research. With the rapid economic growth of the country, the past 30 years, especially the last decade, have witnessed great advances in astronomical studies in China. China has invested in several major facilities, for example, the Guoshoujing Telescope (the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopy Telescope, LAMOST), the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), and the ambitious Antarctic astronomy project. As the largest developing country in the world to launch its own manned spaceship and send an astronaut into orbit, China has achieved steady progress in addressing scientific and technical challenges, and is ready to build and launch space- and lunar- based telescopes.It is reassuring to find that our effort and progress are acknowledged and welcomed by our international colleagues, as demonstrated and reflected by Beijing’s successful bidding for hosting the IAU XXVIII GA, the first time for China, which is propitious and timely. This will no doubt facilitate an impetus for the development of astronomy, raise the profile and boost the visibility of the subject in the country with one fifth of the total population of the planet.

The IAU XXVIII GA scientific Programme includes, but not limited to, four invited discourses, eight symposia, seven joint discussions and eighteen special sessions. Astronomers from around the world will report on and discus spotlighted topics, latest research results and discoveries from every field of contemporary astronomy. We believe this broad spectrum of topics should satisfy and embrace the interest of any attendee, and the GA will serve as a platform for stimulating exchanges of views, to consolidate existing collaborations and initiate new high-level research partnerships. In particular, ‘Women in Astronomy Meeting (WAM)’ will discuss the status and issues affecting women in astronomy, focusing on strategies for increasing gender equality, promoting diversity, and improving working environment of the field.The GA also offers fascinating social events. As a city with a history of 3000 years, Beijing is known for its heritage of architecture, historical and cultural treasures. The Great Wall, the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City, and the Temple of Heaven have been designated as world cultural heritage by UNESCO. As a fast-growing, dynamic international metropolis, and the capital, the political, cultural, educational and scientific center of the country, Beijing is a symbol and showcase of the modernization of China as well.We believe the Beijing GA will be a memorable General Assembly and wish you a scientifically and socially productive experience. Welcome to Beijing, welcome to China!

2.14. GENERAL ASSEMBLY NEWSPAPER
The IAU XXVIII General Assembly daily newspaper 天問 or “Inquiries of Heaven”, will be published during the GA in ten editions. The name of the newspaper was chosen after the poem “Inquiries of Heaven (IH)” (天問 ) by Yuan QU, a Chinese poet, in 310 B.C. He raised more than 150 inquiries about the Universe and society in "Inquiries of Heaven," and described humanity's early thoughts on the Cosmos. At the beginning of the poem, Yuan QU asks about the remotest past of the Universe with his profound thoughts[1]:
Whoever has convey’d to us 曰 : 邃古之初,
Stories of the remotest past? 谁传道之?
Who can verify the shapeless 上下未形,
Beginning time has overcast? 何由考之?
Who can confirm the world had been 冥昭瞢暗,
A mass without darkness and light? 谁能极之?
If th’ universe was but chaos, 冯翼惟像,
What evidence is there in sight? 何以识之?
And then, how was it arranged 明明暗暗,
That, there came to be Night and Day? 惟时何为?
‘Mongst th’ yin, th’ yang and th’ either that make 阴阳三合,
Things, th’ vital role which one does play 何本何化?

and Vega are high in the night sky, and the Chinese tell an incredible love story during Qixi Festival:
A young cowherd (Niulang) came across a beautiful girl, the seventh daughter of the Goddess (Zhinü), who just had escaped from boring heaven to look for fun. Zhinü soon fell in love with Niulang, and they got married without the knowledge of the Goddess. The Goddess of Heaven was furious to find out that Zhinü had married a mere mortal and ordered Zhinü to return to heaven. On Earth, Niulang was very upset that his wife had disappeared. Suddenly, his ox began to talk, telling him that if he killed it and put on its hide, he would be able to go up to Heaven to find his wife. Crying bitterly, he killed the ox, put on the skin, and carried his two beloved children off to Heaven to find Zhinü. The Goddess discovered this and was very angry. Taking out her hairpin, the Goddess scratched a wide river in the sky to separate the two lovers forever, thus forming the Milky Way between Altair and Vega.

6. SPECIAL EVENTS
6.1. GRUBER FOUNDATION COSMOLOGY PRIZE AND 2012 FELLOWSHIP
Tuesday 21 and Wednesday 22 AugustThe Gruber Foundation Cosmology Prize for 2012 has been awarded to Charles L. Bennett and the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) team “for their vital contribution to the study of the properties of the Universe as a whole. The prize citation further recognises that the measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) by Bennett and the WMAP team have helped to transform the current paradigm of the structure formation of the Universe from “appealing scenario into precise science”. Their observations and analyses of ancient light have provided the unprecedentedly rigorous measurements of the age, content, geometry, and origin of the universe that now comprise the Standard Cosmological Model. The presentation will be made to Charles Bennett during the Inaugural Ceremony, 14:00-16:00 on Tuesday 21 August, and will be followed by a special lunchtime lecture by Charles Bennett at 12:45 on Wednesday 22 August.
The 2012 Gruber Foundation Fellowship has been awarded to Anna Lisa Varri of Milan to work at Indiana University on research devoted to the dynamics of globular clusters, with the aim of providing a more realistic dynamical paradigm for this class of stellar systems. She will be presented at the Inaugural Ceremony.

The workshop is aimed mainly at young astronomers and astronomers from Asian and developing countries. The topics that will be covered in the workshop include how to write a good paper, how to be an effective reviewer, and how the modern scholarly journal system works. The one-day workshop will be offered four different times during the General Assembly in Beijing, on 22 (Room 403), 24 (Room 408), 27 (Room 405) and 29 August (Room 408). A separate registration for the workshop will be required.
6.7. ASTRONOMY/ASTROBIOLOGY TEACHER WORKSHOP
Saturday 25 August and Sunday 26 August, 08:30-17:00, in the Beijing Planetarium This is a workshop lead by IAU scientists and Education and Public Outreach in conjunction with the Beijing Planetarium. The workshop is designed for high school physics teachers to train them in the integration of astrobiology and astronomy into physics curricula. The workshop content focuses on planetary system science, exoplanets and star formation. The programme will discuss exciting new results from recent international space missions as well as some plans for new mission ideas. The teachers will work with the scientists in groups using astronomical data to learn how to translate new science results (e.g. related to the Kepler mission and Mars) into the classroom. The programme begins at 8:30am each day and consists of a combination of lectures, hands-on activities and discussion and will be conducted in Mandarin Chinese and English. The goal is to motivate teachers to want to learn about forefront astronomical research and introduce the new results into the classroom. IAU scientists who are interested in learning to work with high school teachers are invited to participate. The workshop will be held at the Beijing Planetarium which can be reached by bus or subway from the CNCC. Space is limited, so participation is first come first served. Lunch and refreshment will be provided each day for a modest fee. For information on participation, contact Mary Kadooka ([email protected]).
6.8. IAU/UNAWE WORKSHOP AND DAY CAMP
Pedro Russo, who was responsible for the organisation of IYA2009, now runs the UNAWE Programme, with headquarters in Leiden, Netherlands. UNAWE is organising a Universe Awareness Workshop for the duration of the General Assembly.
33
IntroductionIn collaboration with the educational Programme Universe Awareness, is organising a day-camp for children of astronomers attending the IAU General Assembly. The idea behind the Day Camp is to combine professional childcare support for parents who would like to bring their family to the conference with a rich Programme of educational astronomy activities for their children. The organisers will also invite local children to attend the Day Camp. The benefit of this approach is twofold: to give something back to the local community in the GA’s host city, and to offer the visiting children a unique opportunity to learn about Chinese culture and customs as they play and learn together.
The day-camp will offer a rich programme of science and cultural activities. The schedule will include hands-on science activities, games, social activities, 2-3 excursion per week (Planetarium, Ancient Observatory, Science Centre), lunch and snack and a presentation of their activities on the last day of the IAU General Assembly. Monitors will be recruited among international students and multilingual staff; groups will be formed based on language and age.
Who can participate?The day camp is addressed to the children of IAU GA attendants and those from the local community (Chinese and expats), aged 5-11 (date of birth between 20/8/2007 and 31/8/2001). The maximum number of participants each week is 25.
WhereThe day camp will take place in meeting room 201 on level 2 of the CNCC. Weather permitting, the children can play in the park outside the rooms. The programme will include excursions to local sites for children.
Staff and monitorsThe camp is organised by IAU in collaboration with Universe Awareness and Sterrenlab. All staff involved have previous experience with children and science education Programmes.
SafetyThe day camp will be run in a safe and healthy environment:
• the camp venue is safe and appropriate for children’s activities• monitors (>19 years old) and staff have previous experience with children• parents will be asked to fill a form about health status (e.g. allergies) of their child(ren)• contact with first aid at the conference and local hospital• parents can contact the staff at any time of the day
34
DatesWeek I: 20-25 August 2012Week II: 26-31 August 2012 The camp opens 15 minutes before the first session and closes 30 minutes after the last one. Children must be collected by parent(s) before the camp closes. Children can be registered for week I, week II, or both. Maximum number of participants is 25.
FeeThe day-camp cost per child per week is 200 €, includinglunch, 2 snacks per daymonitors (1 every 10 children) and staffmaterial for activities2-3 excursions per week
Registration conditionsNo refunds can be made after cancellations after 5 August.

6.9. “SAVING HUBBLE”, a new independent documentary directed by David Gaynes
(68 minutes, English, USA, 2012)
28 and 30 August 2012, 12:30-14:00 in Room 311A+BPreview Screening presented by IAU and Beijing Science Video WebsiteWebsite/Trailer: www.savinghubble.com
“I loved the feeling of the film...brought tears to my eyes...shows the power of a great idea and a few people to move a nation and to accomplish something totally magnificent.”
– John Mather, Nobel Laureate in Physics, on “Saving Hubble”.A love letter to the machine that stands as humanity’s ambassador to the expanding universe, Saving Hubble is also the story of ordinary people finding their voice in the grassroots movement that saved the Hubble Space Telescope from an untimely death. It examines NASA’s decision in 2004 to cancel the world’s most famous telescope, and introduces us to the people who united to save it. Many films have been made about what Hubble teaches humans about the universe. This is the first time a film about Hubble has asked “What does this machine say
35
about us?”The film has been previewing for a variety of audiences around the USA, including an enthusiastic standing-room-only crowd of 450 professional scientists at the 219th American Astronomical Society Meeting, employees at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, and attendees of the National Space Symposium, the Northeast Astronomy Forum & Telescope Show (NEAF), SETIcon II, and ALCon 2012.A traveling chautauqua or modern-day medicine show, The Hubble Roadshow is an expansive nonprofit outreach tour of locally unique events that feature Saving Hubble, sidewalk astronomy, scientists talking about what’s new in the worlds of astronomy and technology, opportunities for science learning and outreach, music, art, food, and most importantly, a conversation about human beings’ connection to the cosmos and society’s role in exploring this connection.
The Director, David Gaynes, is emerging as a unique voice in the world of independent documentary film. A layman in the field of astronomy, David was inspired to explore the public’s connection to space when he heard on the evening news that a necessary repair mission to the Hubble Space Telescope had been cancelled. David’s first feature, Keeper of the Kohn (2005), is a portrait of Peter Kohn, a beloved autistic field manager for the Middlebury College lacrosse team. It won the Jury Prize for best documentary at the Vail Film Festival. The forthcoming Next Year In Jerusalem tells the story of eight nursing home residents on a pilgrimage to Israel. David was the cinematographer for the award-winning documentary All Me: The Life and Times of Winfred Rembert (2011, directed by Vivian Ducat).

• Mac-PPTs will be converted to regular Powerpoints, not affecting the design or appearance of presentations. In most cases, this conversion process will not take any extra time. In more complicated cases, which are rare, this will take anywhere between five minutes and half an hour.
• We manually convert PDF presentations, normally without any changes in the appearance of the presentation. In rare cases there may be some minor visual changes, the process may take a couple of minutes.
• Keynote presentations are not compatible to Powerpoint and can only be converted manually. This process may take a longer time, anywhere from one hour up to half a day, depending on the complexity of the Keynote (i.e. lots of animated slides, large amount of videos). If speakers prefer to use their original Keynote file and do not wish to have it converted into a Powerpoint, they may use their own laptops. M-Event technicians can assist connecting laptops to the system.
All presenters must report to the Speaker Preview Room at VIP 3-1 on level 3, regardless of what type of presentation is prepared.

10.2. INVITED DISCOURSES
18:00, Plenary Hall B
ID1 "The Zoo of Galaxies", Karen Masters, Monday, 20 August, Chair: Martha Haynes
We live in a universe filled with galaxies with an amazing variety of sizes and shapes. One of the biggest challenges for astronomers working in this field is to understand how all these types relate to each other in the background of an expanding universe. Modern astronomical surveys (like the Sloan Digital Sky Survey) have revolutionized this field of astronomy, by providing vast numbers of galaxies to study. The sheer size of the these databases made traditional visual classification of the types galaxies impossible and in 2007 inspired the Galaxy Zoo project (www.galaxyzoo.org); starting the largest ever scientific collaboration by asking members of the public to help classify galaxies by type and shape. Galaxy Zoo has since shown itself, in a series of now almost 30 scientific papers, to be a fantastic database for the study of galaxy evolution. ID2 "Supernovae, the Accelerating Cosmos, and Dark Energy" Brian Schmidt, Wednesday, 22 August, Chair: Matthew Colless
Type Ia supernovae remain one of Astronomy's most precise tools for measuring distances in the Universe. I will describe the cosmological application of these stellar explosions, and chronicle how they were used to discover an accelerating Universe in 1998 - an observation which is most simply explained if more than 70% of the Universe is made up of some previously undetected form of 'Dark Energy'. Over the intervening 13 years, a variety of experiments have been completed, and even more proposed to better constrain the source of the acceleration. I will review the range of experiments, describing the current state of our understanding of the observed acceleration, and speculate about future progress in understanding Dark Energy.
ID3 "The Herschel View of Star Formation" Philippe André, Wednesday, 29 August, Chair: Thierry Montmerle
53
“Star formation is one of the most fundamental, most complex, and least understood processes in astrophysics. Recent studies of the nearest star-forming clouds of the Galaxy at submillimeter wavelengths with the Herschel Space Observatory have provided us with unprecedented images of the initial conditions and early phases of the star formation process. The Herschel images reveal an intricate network of filamentary structure in every interstellar cloud. These filaments all exhibit remarkably similar widths - about one third of a light year - but only the densest ones contain prestellar cores, the seeds of future stars. The Herschel results suggest favor a scenario in which interstellar filaments and prestellar cores represent two key steps in the star formation process: first turbulence stirs up the gas, giving rise to a universal web-like structure in the interstellar medium, then gravity takes over and controls the further fragmentation of filaments into prestellar cores and ultimately protostars. This scenario provides new insight into the inefficiency of star formation, the origin of stellar masses, and the global rate of star formation in galaxies. Despite an apparent complexity, global star formation may be governed by relatively simple universal laws from filament to galactic scales.”
ID4 "Past, Present and Future of Chinese Astronomy" Cheng Fang, Thursday, 30 August, Chair: Norio Kaifu
“In ancient history, Chinese astronomers had got tremendous achievement. Since the main purpose of the ancient Chinese astronomy was to study the correlation between man and the universe, all the Emperors made ancient Chinese astronomy the highly regarded science throughout the history. After brief introduction of the achievement of ancient Chinese astronomy, I describe the beginnings of modern astronomy research in China in the 20th century. Benefited from the fast development of Chinese economy, the research in astronomy in China has made remarkable progress in the recent years. The number of astronomer has doubled in the past ten years, and the number of graduated students has grown over 1500. The current budget for astronomy research is ten times larger than that ten years ago. The research covers all fields in astronomy, from galaxy to the Sun. The recent progress in both the instruments, such as the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), and the theoretical research will be briefly presented. The ongoing and the future projects on the space- and ground-based facilities will be described, including Five Hundred Meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), “Chang E” project (Lunar mission), Hard X-ray Modulate Telescope (HXMT) , Deep Space Solar Observatory (DSO), Chinese Antarctic Observatory (CAO),and Chinese Spectral Radioheliogaph (CSRH) etc.”
