From August 3 to 7, 2024, the Multiband Photometric Time-Domain Research Seminar on the Milky Way and Nearby Galaxies, hosted by Yunnan University, was held in Lijiang, Yunnan. This seminar focused on scientific research and collaboration involving the Mephisto Telescope and high-energy astronomical satellites such as EP and SVOM. Welcome speeches were delivered by Ma Wenhui, President of Yunnan University; Gu Yidong, Chief Responsible Person for the Chinese Survey Telescope Space Station and Chief Designer of the Chinese Manned Space Engineering Application System; He Cheng, Director of the Astronomy Department of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Division of the National Natural Science Foundation of China; and Mao Yufeng, Deputy Director of the Astronomy Dynamics Department of the Frontier Science and Basic Research Bureau of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Academician Gu Yidong expressed his sincere admiration for the rapid construction and operation of the Mephisto telescope within just a few years. He looks forward to the Mephisto telescope establishing close cooperation with EP, SVOM, and other telescopes. He believes that Chinese astronomy is at a very important opportunity period, with significant astronomical equipment including EP and SVOM in space, and the Mephisto telescope from Yunnan University, along with a series of ground-based telescopes currently under development. These projects will drive major achievements in China's astronomy. He pointed out that the collaborative concepts among the three major telescopes are highly forward-looking and innovative. He wishes that the future operations and collaborations of the Mephisto telescope with EP, SVOM, and others will inject strong momentum into the development of Chinese astronomy, especially in the field of time-domain astronomy, and he hopes the conference will be a great success.
The conference featured over 40 presentations and lively discussions addressing key scientific issues such as the structure and evolutionary history of the Milky Way and nearby galaxies, multi-wavelength detection and follow-up monitoring of various transient sources in the universe, eruption mechanisms, statistical properties and their connection to host galaxy characteristics, as well as the Hubble constant crisis. Attending scholars collaboratively explored the latest research findings and development trends in multi-wavelength, multi-color time-domain studies of the Milky Way and nearby galaxies, promoting academic exchange and collaboration. The successful holding of the conference will further advance the Mephisto Survey Telescope's high-precision true-color survey efforts, facilitate collaborative cooperation with high-energy astronomical satellite platforms like EP and SVOM, and strengthen cooperation and communication among scholars in related fields within the country.
Over 70 experts, scholars, and graduate students from various domestic and international universities and research institutions participated in the seminar, including the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai Astronomical Observatory, Yunnan Astronomical Observatory, Purple Mountain Observatory, the Department of Space Science and Application of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Institute of High Energy Physics, University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing Normal University, Tsinghua University, Guangxi University, Guangzhou University, Nanjing Normal University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Australian National University, and Yunnan University.
