We are pleased to inform you that we have signed a contract with Astronomische Nachrichten for publication of the proceedings of the STARS2019/SMFNS2019 meetings. Founded in 1821 by the German astronomer Heinrich Christian Schumacher, AN is the oldest magazine in the field of astronomy that is still published. Albert Einstein published some of his seminal articles in this journal.
The deadline for submitting the contributions is 3 September 2019. We emphasize that contributions to the proceedings must follow the standards established by the journal (see below).
We have defined the following number of pages for the contributions: 6 pages for 30 minutes oral talks, 5 pages for 20 minutes oral talks, and 4 pages for poster contributions.
The submitted articles will be evaluated by a body of referees. In order to avoid accumulation of submissions and delay in the publication of the proceedings, participants are requested to send their contributions as soon as possible.
