The Kavli Institute for
Astronomy and Astrophysics (KIAA) is jointly supported by Peking
University and an endow-
ment made possible by a
generous gift from the Kavli Foundation, USA. KIAA was established
in June, 2006 and
started operation in 2007.
KIAA's mission is to establish an international center of
excellence in astronomy and
astrophysics that promotes the
development of basic astrophysical research. Its primary goal is to
foster frontier
research in a vibrant
intellectual environment. With English as its working language,
KIAA is engaged in theoreti-
cal and observational
initiatives, development and utilization of astronomical
facilities, and training of undergradua-
te and graduate students and
postdoctoral fellows. KIAA regularly sponsors thematic workshops,
conferences, and
a range of other academic
activities to facilitate scientific exchange with the domestic and
international astronomy
community. It is establishing
exchange and visiting programs with other Kavli institutes and a
network of universi-
ties and astronomy centers
worldwide. The program of KIAA focuses on four
major areas of astrophysics: 1) observational cosmology, galaxy
formation
and evolution; 2) star
formation, stellar and planetary systems; 3)
gravitational physics and high-energy
pheno-
mena; and 4) computational
astrophysics. The Institute is under the
leadership of its Director Luis C. Ho, Associate Director Linhua
Jiang, Gregory J. Herczeg,
and coordinator J. S. Chen. An
international Science Advisory Committee provides guidance
concerning proposed
academic activities,
assistance on major projects to set research directions, and review
of new faculty appoint-
ments. A
Governing Board, which reports to the President of Peking
University, has been established to oversee
the management and operations
of the Institute. KIAA works closely with the
Department of Astronomy, via coor-
dination of research
activities, sharing of research facilities and resources, training
and supervising of students,
and joint participation in the
routine operations of the Institute. Together
with several joint appointments with
the Department of Astronomy
and other institutions, KIAA currently has 25 professors,
approximately 30 postdoc-
toral fellows, a number of
visiting scholars, and five administrative staff
members. The following is a chart
showing
the overall organizational
structure of KIAA.
科维理天文与天体物理研究所是北京大学和美国Kavli基金会合作于2006年6月成立的，并于2007年开始正式运行。研究所致力于
建设一个国际一流的天文与天体物理研究中心，在活跃的学术氛围下，开展前沿天体物理领域的基础科学研究。工作语言为英语。
研究所积极参加理论和观测天体物理研究项目，开发和利用观测设备，培养本科生、研究生和博士后。定期举办专题研讨会和学术会
议，并开展一系列旨在推动与国内外天文界合作与交流的学术活动。研究所与其它Kavli研究所以及世界上很多大学和研究机构建立
了各种交流与访问计划。
研究所的主要研究领域包括：1) 观测宇宙学，星系的形成与演化；2) 恒星形成，恒星与行星系统; 3) 引力物理和高能现象；4)

算天体物理。
研究所现任所长何子山，副所长江林华、Gregory J. Herczeg,
协调人陈建生。由国际科学顾问委员会(SAC)在学术活动、重大计
划、研究方向和教师聘用等方面提供指导。刚刚成立的理事会直接向北京大学校长报告工作，以监督研究所的管理运行。研究所与
天文学系合作密切，人员共聘，资源共享，联合开展科学研究和人才培养。经与天文学系和其它天文单位联合聘用，研究所目前有
25位教师，约30名博士后和许多访问学者。下图为科维理天文与天体物理研究所整体组织架构图。
