SUBSTELLAR Astrophysics Conference, 8 - 14 August 2026, Tordesillas, Valladolid, Spain
A large group of the substellar community has met in El Montico Hotel (Tordesillas, Valladolid, Spain) in the SUBSTELLAR Astrophysics Conference (SAC-2026) that took place from 08 to 14 August with the aim of bringing together researchers interested in substellar science with special emphasis on exploiting the wealth of data provided by Euclid and complementing it with other surveys and follow-up observations.
The conference was hosted and supported by the ERC Advanced Grant SUBSTELLAR . All member of the team attended the conference and presented a talk. The link to the presentation will be provided soon:
