A forum for in-depth scientific exchange
The study of chemical abundances across cosmic time offers a crucial perspective on the evolution of the universe — from the earliest primordial gas clouds to the diverse present-day populations of stars and galaxies. By examining the composition of gas, stars, and galaxies at multiple scales, we can trace element enrichment, gain insights into the processes driving star formation, and explore the impact of feedback mechanisms in shaping cosmic structures.
The Guillermo Haro Workshops are by-invitation-only meetings, designed to promote in-depth discussion and close interaction among participants. The format combines morning lectures and frontier research talks with afternoon working group sessions and an informal, collaborative atmosphere aimed at identifying open questions and fostering new collaborations.
INAOE is located in Tonantzintla — less than 10 minutes from the ancient Cholula pyramid and 30 minutes from the colonial city of Puebla de los Ángeles, a region also renowned for its outstanding gastronomy.
Two thematic weeks
Local Universe
Metallicities, chemical abundances, and the ISM in the local Universe — including nearby galaxies, resolved stellar populations, and the physical processes governing metal enrichment and mixing.
High-Redshift Environments
The evolution of ISM properties at early cosmic times, including dust and gas studies, and observational perspectives spanning submillimeter, optical, and near-infrared wavelengths, with emphasis on ALMA, GTM, GTC, HST, and JWST.
