Dear Recipient,
The following is the second call for abstracts for the
1996 Meeting of the High Energy Astrophysics Division (HEAD)
of the AAS. A separate Registration Announcement, which
contains all the details of registration and hotel accomodations,
will ONLY be sent to those that have requested to be on the
head96 mailing list. This may be accomplished by sending any
email to the following address:

SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT - SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT - SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------
1996 Meeting of the AAS High Energy Astrophysics Division
*Incorporating XTE, ASCA, CGRO and ROSAT Workshops*
------------------
April 30 - May 4,
Mission Bay, San Diego, California
ABSTRACTS DUE FRIDAY JAN 26, 1996
--------------------------
The imminent launch of the X-ray Timing Explorer (XTE, December
1995) heralds the first US-led X-ray astronomy mission since
HEAO-2 in 1979. With its launch, and that of SAX (Jan `96), High
Energy Astrophysics will have five missions (plus 2 EUV missions)
simultaneously active. This unprecedented diversity and quality
of data reinforces the clear need to communicate across missions.
The AAS High Energy Astrophysics Division (HEAD) is holding a
second Divisional meeting in Spring 1996 to provide a forum for
this interchange. The meeting will cover observations and theory
for all energies above ~100 eV and for all scientific areas of
high energy astrophysics, with links to the rest of the spectrum.
The sessions will be science-based, rather than mission-based.
Oral sessions will include plenary review talks plus contributed
talks. Poster sessions will be held both in parallel and alone to
allow ample discussion time. Evening discussion sessions may be
organized on topics of current interest. A booklet of submitted
abstracts will be distributed at the conference but no referenceable
publication will result from this meeting.
Since each mission has its idiosyncrasies, the meeting will
incorporate 1/2 day workshops on data analysis for XTE, ASCA,
CGRO and ROSAT following the model of the 1994 (Napa) HEAD
meeting.
The following is a preliminary (and partial) list of special
sessions and workshops:
"Extracting Information from CCD and Higher Resolution X-ray Spectra."
organizer: Jeremy Drake (jdrake@cfa.harvard.edu)
"30 GeV photons and Beyond"
organizer: Trevor Weekes (weekes@egret.sao.arizona.edu)
"Future High Energy Astrophysics Missions"
organizer: Martin Elvis (elvis@cfa.harvard.edu)
"First XTE Workshop"
organizer: Jean Swank (swank@lheavx.gsfc.nasa.gov)
"ROSAT: Large Projects, Pathfinder for AXAF & Discussion on Future Best
Use of
U.S. Time"
organizer: Rob Petre (petre@lheavx.gsfc.nasa.gov)
"ASCA Workshop"
organizer: Nick White (white@adhoc.gsfc.nasa.gov)

Hotel
The Catamaran Resort Hotel has been chosen as the conference
hotel
for the meeting. The resort is a casually elegant tropical paradise
located
on the white sands of Mission Bay and is just one hundred yards from the
Pacific Ocean. The hotel is within walking distance of many restaurants

numerous water sports including windsurfing, kayaking, canoeing, and
boating, all available for rent from the hotel. The hotel is also
equipped
with an exercise room which is located near the pool and spa.
Registration details will soon be sent to all interested parties

LATEX TEMPLATE (OPTIONAL) FOR ABSTRACT ONLY. ABOVE INFO REQUIRED

% Following is a LaTeX 2.09 template to create an abstract file for the
% 1996 HEAD Meeting. This abstract has been formatted so it will run
% through LaTeX without a special style file. The final version may be
% formatted differently (different margins, fonts, spacing, etc.).
%
% Anything following a percent sign (%) is ignored by LaTeX. The lines
% ending with "% IGNORE" are necessary to run this file through % LaTeX.
% Do not delete them -- just ignore them.
%
% The abstract title, author name(s) and affiliations(s) are to be typed
% between the curly braces following their commands. Use upper and lower
% case letters. If the authors are from more than one affiliation, use
% the "\affil{#}" command. The "\affil{#}" commands go AFTER the name,
% and BEFORE the affiliation. In the example below, A. B. Chekov and
% D. E. Finney have the number "1" for their affiliation, which shows
they
% are with the University of Betazed. The affiliation for X. Y. Zaheva
is
% Eureka Scientific. For a single affiliation, the "\affil{#}" command
% is not necessary.
%
% If you need to use references, put the full reference in the text in
% parentheses.
%
% The abstract itself is typed between the "\maketitle" and
"\end{document}"
% commands. Use a blank line between paragraphs.
