Venue: Lecture Room, NAOJ Mitaka Campus, Japan

This is the first announcement on the ALMA Workshop "Formation and Evolution of Disks around Protostars", held at NAOJ Mitaka campus on December 12th and 13th 2015. Recent high angular resolution observations of protostars using mm and submm interferometers, including ALMA, have revealed that some of protostars are associated with Keplerian disks, which would be precursors of protoplanetary disks around T Tauri stars. Nevertheless, their formation and evolution processes, in particular with magnetic fields, are still poorly understood. It is required to observe more disks around protostars to understand the formation and evolution processes as well as their physical properties.

In this workshop, we will summary the current our understanding about disks around protostars based on observations and theories, and then discuss possible ALMA large proposals for cycle 4 to study the formation and evolution of disks around protostars. Through the workshop we aim to construct a strong large scientific team under the global collaboration, inviting top scientists in this field not only from the East-Asian region but also from US and Europe, and to discuss specific planning of the proposals. For the purpose of this workshop, we encourage you to actively participate in our research team and to make specific contributions to our science and team.
