The international conference “Hot Stars. Life with Circumstellar Matter” will take place on October 14−19, 2024, in the city of Almaty, Kazakhstan, on campus of the Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. We intend to hold the conference live in a beautiful place located in the foothills of the Tien-Shan mountains that reach heights up to 5000 meters in the vicinity of the city. It is an astronomical site featuring the Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute, Tien-Shan and Assy-Turgen Astronomical Observatories.
The conference will focus on stellar objects at any evolutionary stage that include early-type stars with signs of circumstellar gaseous and dusty material. This definition includes such classes of object as Herbig Ae/Be, classical Be, Vega-type, Wolf-Rayet stars, Proto-Planetary Nebulae, Luminous Blue Variables, other objects with the B[e] phenomenon, and more. Exploration of the evolutionary connections between the mentioned classes leads to better understand the interaction between stellar systems and circumstellar matter and, ultimately, long-term evolution of galaxies. We encourage a broad community of scientists at all stages of their careers to share recent ideas, results, and discoveries and to communicate with each other in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere of a modern and vibrant city.
The Scientific Organizing Committee contains experienced researchers, who help organized conferences focused on topics around hot stars, mass loss, circumstellar material, and stellar evolution. Invited talks will cover such topics as:
Massive stars (theory and modeling)
Binary and Multiple Star systems with gaseous and dusty disks
Multiplicity of Classical Be stars
The conference is registered in the Astronomy Meetings List:

This is the first announcement of the international conference “Hot Stars. Life with Circumstellar Matter” that will take place on October 14−19, 2024, in the city of Almaty, Kazakhstan, on campus of the Al-Farabi Kazakh National University.
We intend to hold the conference live in a beautiful place located in the foothills of the Tien-Shan mountains, which reach heights up to 5000 meters in the vicinity of the city. It is an astronomical site featuring the Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute, Tien-Shan and Assy-Turgen Astronomical Observatories.

This definition includes such classes of object as Herbig Ae/Be, classical Be, Vega-type, Wolf-Rayet stars, Proto-Planetary Nebulae, Luminous Blue Variables, other objects with the B[e] phenomenon, and any other related objects.
New objects of these classes are constantly being discovered. Information from large-scale and long-term surveys as well as from recent space missions, such as Gaia, is being analyzed that results in constraining properties of individual objects and their groups. New methods of data analysis and application of existing ones to various datasets advance out knowledge of this exciting research field. Exploration of evolutionary connections between the mentioned classes allows us to better understand mechanisms of interaction between stellar systems and circumstellar matter and, ultimately, long-term evolution of galaxies.
We invite you to share recent ideas, results, and discoveries, communicate with other researchers in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere in a modern, vibrant city.
