THE MEETING:
The study of cosmic Deuterium is a fast expanding research topic of
multidisciplinary nature. Deuterium and deuterated species are observed in a
variety of astrophysical regions, from external galaxies to our own planetary
atmosphere. Formed in the very first moments of the Universe and burned
inside stars, deuterium is also subject to large fractionation effects. It
is thus a powerful tracer of the dominant processes which govern the
evolution of astrophysical objects and media, including the formation of
the Universe up to that of our Solar System.
This 3-days meeting will cover most of topics related to deuterium studies,
addressing the fundamental questions which arise from present observations
and which will be answered by the coming new instrumentations. One day
will be devoted for each of the following topics:
- Solar System
- The interstellar medium and star forming regions
- Nucleosynthesis and cosmology.
