Washington, DC
We are pleased to announce plans for a symposium "Two Years of Science
with Chandra" to be held at The Washington Plaza Hotel, Washington,
D.C. Wednesday, 5 September 2001 - Friday, 7 September 2001. This
meeting is organized by the Chandra X-ray Center, Marshall Space
Flight Center, Goddard Space Flight Center, and the University of
Maryland.
The conference web site:
http://cxc.harvard.edu/symposium_2001
now allows on-line registration and submission of abstracts,
and queries on science and logistics topics.
This meeting will highlight key science results from the first two
years of operation of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The meeting will
include discoveries made with the impressive imaging and spectroscopy
capabilities of this great observatory. Virtually every astrophysics
topic will be covered. These will include stellar coronae, star
formation, compact objects, black holes, AGN, quasars, supernova
remnants, clusters of galaxies, solar system objects and the
resolution of the long standing mystery as to the origin of the X-ray
background. Contributions covering recent results from XMM-Newton and
other X-ray observatories are also encouraged.
