International scientific conference at the Astronomical Observatory in Cluj-Napoca

From July 6-8, 2022, the international conference titled 'Theory, Observations and Data Processing in Astronomy, Astrophysics, Space and Planetary Sciences' was held at the Astronomical Observatory in Cluj-Napoca.

Organized by the Astronomical Observatory in Cluj-Napoca, part of the Cluj-Napoca Branch of the Romanian Academy, and by the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at 'Babes-Bolyai' University in Cluj-Napoca, the conference took place under the auspices of the Cluj Academic Days 2022, with support from the Astronomical Institute of the Romanian Academy and the Romanian National Committee of Astronomy.

The conference was attended by researchers and faculty members from the fields of astronomy, astrophysics, space and planetary sciences, mathematics, and physics from Romania, Hungary, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Brazil, and Iran. Students from 'Babes-Bolyai' University, interested in the topics addressed, were also present.

The presented papers covered topics related to planetary sciences and solar physics, studies of complex star systems such as binary, triple, and multiple star systems, as well as theoretical studies on cosmology and black hole theory. The approaches to these topics were diverse, ranging from direct astronomical observations, their analysis and modeling, to their processing using modern analysis techniques with the help of artificial intelligence and machine learning processes. The observational data processed in this way are used to develop analytical or empirical models, which ultimately aim to explain the phenomena and issues discussed.
