Celebrating Harvey
The globular star cluster Messier 75
Dear Colleague,
As you will surely agree, Harvey Richer has had an enormous impact on stellar astrophysics, through his ground-breaking work in the topics of stellar populations, star clusters, white dwarfs, and carbon stars.
To celebrate Harvey's many contributions, and mark his 75th birthday, we plan to hold the meeting A RICHER UNIVERSE in Vancouver next year, over the days 6 to 8 May 2019. Our goal is to bring together the numerous current leaders in these areas and discuss the latest results.
We are looking forward seeing you at the meeting!
