SUMMARY:Charting the Future of Stellar and Exoplanets Spectroscopy (CHASES 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Looking ahead\, a new generation of instruments (some of which already operational like ESPRESSO and DESI) will soon start (WEAVE\, 4MOST)\, is planned (MOONS)\, or proposed — from ultra-stable high-resolution spectrographs to massively multiplexed facilities on large telescopes- which are pushing the boundaries of both precision and scale. \nThese developments will enable the study of fainter and more distant systems with unprecedented detail and/or statistical power\, opening new windows in our understanding of the exoplanet population\, galactic archaeology\, and fundamental physics. Indeed\, by September 2026 we expect that many new results will be already emerging\, while new instruments\, such as 4MOST\, will be starting operations and possibly delivering early science. The new instrumentation is also introducing new challenges\, such as calibration at the cm/s level\, uniform abundance scales across surveys\, use of artificial intelligence for data analysis. \nThis conference will explore all these themes\, bringing together communities working on instrumentation\, stellar and exoplanet astrophysics\, and chemical evolution. Some time will also be dedicated to complementary topics that benefit from high-precision spectroscopy. The conference will serve as a launchpad for reviewing the scientific landscape\, new challenges\, and priorities. 2026 indeed represents an interesting point in ESO’s timeline: a moment when the legacy of VLT instrumentation is since many years at its scientific peak\, while the astronomical community is looking ahead to the next generation of telescopes and spectrographs\, including the upcoming MOONS and CUBES\, and\, of course\, the Extremely Large Telescope. 2026 is also important for the more distant future\, considering the call for new VLT instrumentation within the VLT2030 roadmap and the Expanding Horizons initiative.

SUMMARY:From Gaia to GaiaNIR: Science from Precision Astrometry Across the Universe and Beyond the Extinction Barrier
DESCRIPTION:This conference celebrates the achievements of the MWGaiaDN Doctoral Network\, which features PhD projects focused on the science that can be extracted from Gaia DR3 and Gaia DR4. Topics covered are the Milky Way as a galaxy\, stars and planets\, and Active Galactic Nuclei in the context of reference frames. MWGaiaDN projects also look towards the future\, by researching the challenges of sub-microarcsecond astrometry and investigating the technical challenges that will have to be overcome to realize the potential follow-up mission to Gaia\, GaiaNIR \nThe timing of this conference\, just after the release of Gaia DR4\, allows for a look back at the science results achieved with Gaia DR3 and to look ahead at the grand challenges that Gaia DR4 and DR5 offer that the scientific community can address through collaborative projects. \nLooking further ahead\, the next step will be to map the regions of the Milky Way and the universe inaccessible by Gaia\, which requires a deeper survey able to penetrate the dust to unveil the hidden regions. Future astrometry missions in the infrared will be discussed\, with JASMINE mapping the Milky Way’s nuclear region and GaiaNIR vastly expanding Gaia’s census of the Milky Way to a dense sampling of phase space over the full extent of the Milky Way’s disk. The latest mission updates will be presented and synergies with other missions and surveys will be explored.

SUMMARY:The Galactic Journey of the Solar System: Astronomical\, Geological\, and Paleo-Climatological Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:As Earth orbits the Sun\, the Solar System itself revolves around the center of the Milky Way\, moving through a continuously changing Galactic environment. In addition to its mean orbital motion\, the Solar System has a peculiar velocity relative to the surrounding gas and stars\, causing it to traverse different regions of the interstellar medium (ISM) over time. The ISM spans a wide range of gas and dust densities\, temperatures\, and pressures\, and is continuously shaped by processes such as supernova explosions\, stellar winds and radiation\, Galactic shear\, and magnetic fields. \nEncounters with dense gas structures\, such as molecular clouds or supernova shock fronts\, may have measurable consequences for the Solar System. For instance\, an enhanced influx of interstellar dust into the Solar System and Earth’s atmosphere during such encounters could induce radionuclide anomalies in terrestrial archives. Similar signals may also be produced by nearby supernovae through an enhancement of the cosmic-ray flux. In addition\, increased extraterrestrial dust may alter Earth’s radiative balance\, and it remains a matter of debate whether this could result in detectable climatic responses. Under sufficiently high ambient gas densities\, the heliosphere itself could be compressed\, potentially exposing parts of the Solar System directly to the ISM. \nRecent advances in astronomy\, geochemistry\, and paleoclimatology underscore the timeliness of studying these processes. In astronomy\, the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission has revolutionized our view of the local Galactic environment\, enabling the identification of previously unknown large-scale gas structures and stellar associations or clusters\, as well as their relation to the Solar System’s past trajectory. In geochemistry\, improved analytical techniques and expanding datasets have revealed anomalies in radionuclide and interplanetary dust records\, some already linked to astrophysical events and others still unexplained. In paleoclimatology\, new high-resolution proxy records and Earth system model simulations of past climates are becoming available. Together\, these developments open new opportunities to explore connections between Galactic\, Solar\, and Terrestrial environments. \nThis meeting aims to characterize the past and future Galactic environments encountered by the Solar System\, investigate potential links between these environments and changes in the Earth system\, constrain the conditions under which interstellar densities and close supernovae can produce radionuclide anomalies or enhanced extraterrestrial particle fluxes\, and foster interdisciplinary collaboration across astronomy\, geology\, and paleoclimatology.
