Special Conference Pricing on Books by Dorrit!

The Yale Astronomy Department is pleased to announce a conference in honor of Dorrit Hoffleit's centennial year. This historic event will consist of sessions highlighting areas of research and education in which Dorrit was primarily involved and we encourage the attendance of all who have known and worked with her throughout her long and illustrious career.

The conference will be held on Friday April 28 and Saturday morning April 29, 2006 at the New Haven Omni Hotel.

Invited speakers and a few additional speakers will cover the many fields in which she has worked with the balance of the contributions in the form of poster papers. Projection facilities will be available for PowerPoint and overhead projectors. Session topics and confirmed speakers are listed under the link Scientific Program to the left. The conference proceedings will be published by the L. Davis Press.
