A working model for outbursts in dwarf novae was proposed by Prof. Yoji Osaki in 1974, which is currently known as the disk instability model. We are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the invention of this model by organizing an international workshop.

This workshop aims to review the history of the development of the disk instability model, understand the essential physics, and share the latest research results with participants.

We hope that this workshop will help young researchers set the direction for future research. Also, this workshop will provide smooth communication between senior leading researchers and young researchers & students.

This workshop is selected as Fujihara seminar, and the Fujihara foundation sponsors the fund. Please see the following URL for the detail about Fujihara seminar.
