.Astronomy 11: Toronto 2019
October 22-25 2019, University oF Toronto
The 11th edition of .Astronomy was hosted by the Dunlap Institute for Astronomy & Astrophysics at the University of Toronto, October 22-25, 2019.
The venue was the Chestnut Residence & Conference Centre, 89 Chestnut St, Toronto, ON M5G 1R1.
.Astronomy 11 brought the conference to Canada for the first time! Canada has a rich heritage in astronomy, including the development of Very Long Base Line Interferometry (VLBI), the discovery of Supernova 1987A, and observations of the first known black hole, Cygnus X-1. There is a large community of astronomers in Toronto with interests across both astronomy and software/data issues.
