-----------------------------
INTRODUCTION
The AAS High Energy Astrophysics Division (HEAD) will hold its
ninth Divisional meeting in October of 2006 in San Francisco to
bring together the wide spectrum of topics embraced by our field.
Scientific areas to be covered at this meeting
include far-ultraviolet, X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy,
cosmic rays, high-energy processes in cosmic objects, and
gravitational wave astronomy.
The meeting sessions will be science-based, rather than mission
based. Oral sessions will include plenary reviews plus contributed
talks. Ample time will be allowed for viewing papers in the poster
sessions. Evening discussion sessions may be organized on topics of
current interest. Anyone with a topic in mind for a special session,
please contact Stephen Murray (ssm@head.cfa.harvard.edu).

ABSTRACT INSTRUCTIONS
All submitted abstracts will be published in the Bulletin of
the American Astronomical Society (BAAS), which will be available at

abstracts will be submitted to and processed by the AAS
by the due date of July 21, 2006. Abstracts submitted after this
date will only be accepted at the discretion of the Scientific
Organizing Committee and will be published in the BAAS in a later
issue.

The Stanford Court Hotel
Depicting early San Francisco history and the gold rush, this classic old
world luxury hotel sits atop Nob Hill, where the Big Four railroad
millionaire,
Leland Stanford's mansion once was, lost in the earthquake and fire 100
years ago. A Tiffany-style stained glass dome and a dramatic 360deg. mural
of early San Francisco grace the lobby. The luxurious guest rooms project
an understated elegance through the mix of an English country manor
style with antique furnishings accented with sumptuous bed linens.
We have negotiated a block of rooms at a very reasonable price for
San Francisco, so be sure to book early.
*************************************************
Hornblower Yacht Dinner Cruise
Join us for an Evening Banquet Cruise on the
San Francisco Bay!
On Friday, October 6th we will cruise the San Francisco Bay on the
Monte Carlo, one of the beautiful Hornblower yachts. We'll spend
three hours on the water taking in stunning city views and enjoying
the evening sunset. Under the full moon, we'll cruise by Alcatraz
Island and under the Golden Gate Bridge.
An elegant, multi-course dinner will be served onboard. The Monte Carlo's
large picture windows and its expansive top deck will make great locations
for viewing the evening's exciting finale—fireworks on the Bay. It promises
to be a memorable evening.
You can purchase your tickets on the registration page, the cost
per person is $69.00.
