AG Tagung 2002: Splinter-meeting on

X-Ray Astronomy from the Solar System to the High Redshift Universe

Berlin
September 23 - 28, 2002


Organization: St. Komossa (MPE), V. Burwitz (MPE), N. Schartel (XMM-Observatory, Spain), G. Hasinger (MPE)

PURPOSE OF THE MEETING:

X-ray astronomy has led to a number of exciting discoveries in the last few years. A wide range of astrophysical objects has been established as X-ray emitters now, including objects from our solar system like the planet Jupiter and comets, and quasars and clusters of galaxies in the very distant universe. The splinter meeting is focused on observations and modeling of all classes of X-ray emitting objects. Emphasis will be on recent results from the new X-ray observatories XMM-Newton and Chandra. We plan to discuss science, as well as issues related to instrument calibration, archive access, etc. One motivation of this meeting also is to bring together experts in the field of X-ray astronomy and non-X-ray astronomers, in order to exchange experience and ideas, and to start new collaborations. The following topics will be covered:

Abstracts should be sent to the coordinator of the meeting skomossa@xray.mpe.mpg.de (St. Komossa) and to the Schriftfuehrer schie@astro.uni-jena.de (Dr. R. Schielicke) of the Astronomische Gesellschaft.

Abstracts schould be written with the AG macros only.
Deadline for submission of abstracts is July 17, 2002.
