The XMM-Newton Science Operations Centre is organising a major
astrophysical conference from Tuesday 27th to Friday 30th May 2008
in the city of Granada, Andalusia, Spain.
http://xmm.esac.esa.int/external/xmm_science/workshops/2008symposium
--------------------------------------------------------------------
* AIMS AND SCOPE OF THE MEETING *
The conference will be a successor to the "The X-ray Universe 2005"
meeting held in 2005 near Madrid. The conference is intended to
encompass a broad range of high energy astrophysics topics and we hope
that it will provide a showcase for results and discoveries not only
from XMM-Newton, Chandra and Suzaku but also from other current
missions; the scientific potential of future projects like XEUS should
be discussed at the conference.
Session topics will include:
* Stars, White Dwarfs & Solar System
* White Dwarf Binaries, Neutron Star Binaries, CVs, ULXs & Black Holes
* Supernovae, SNRs, Diffuse Emission & Isolated Neutron Stars
* Galaxies & Galactic Surveys
* Active Galactic Nuclei
* Groups of Galaxies, Clusters of Galaxies & Superclusters
* Cosmology & Extragalactic Deep Fields
* Future X-ray Missions
