This is the third announcement for the ESO conference "Herbig Ae/Be
stars: The missing link in star formation" to be held in Santiago de
Chile, on April 7-11, 2014. The venue of the meeting will be the ESO
Headquarters in Santiago, Chile, located on the ESO/ALMA campus.

More detailed information is available on our web page
http://www.eso.org/haebe2014.html or by e-mail to haebe2014@eso.org

We'd like to encourage you to circulate the announcement among your
colleagues.

GOAL OF THE WORKSHOP

The ESO workshop on Herbig Ae/Be stars is dedicated to the formation
and pre- main sequence evolution of intermediate-mass stars. The
stellar masses involved correspond to the transition regime between
the formation of solar-type stars and high-mass stars, i.e. the
dichotomy between clustered and isolated formation, between disk
accretion and magneto-spheric accretion, between convective and
radiative stellar interiors, between slow and fast rotators. The disks
around HAeBe stars evolve in harmony with planet formation towards
debris disks and mature planetary systems.

The ESO 2014 Herbig AeBe workshop will take place in commemoration of the
life and works of George H. Herbig (January 2, 1920 – October 12, 2013).

BACKGROUND

Over the past 20 years, new sensitive instruments have opened up the
milli-arcsecond and sub milli-arcsecond spatial scales where the disk
physics takes place and planetary formation processes occur. ALMA will
complement spatially and advance spectrally at high resolution the
connection between the inner disks and the outer, dusty disks as
observed by space-based observatories. The workshop aims to charter
the evolution of the circumstellar material from the formation phases,
during the star's PMS contraction, and down to the dispersal and/or
debris phase. Topics include (i) stellar interior and surface physics
(ii) accretion/ejection (iii) disk evolution; (iv) the connection with
debris disks and planet formation.

The workshop lasts five days and is held at the ESO-Chile headquarters
in Santiago. It will have classic format of invited reviews,
contributing talks and posters. There will be ample time for
discussions, and space for posters. The conference venue has a
capacity for 100-120 participants. Financial support is available on
request.
