         "Exploring the X-ray Universe: Suzaku and Beyond"
               - the fourth Suzaku Science Conference

July 20-22, 2011
Kavli Institute for Particle Physics and Astronomy
at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC)

Now in its sixth year of operation, the Japan/US Suzaku X-ray Observatory
continues to make fundamental contributions to astronomy across a broad
range of topic areas, from the local ISM to cosmology.  The latest Suzaku
results will be featured at "Exploring the X-ray Universe: Suzaku and Beyond,"
the fourth Suzaku science conference.  The meeting will highlight results
from the Suzaku Key Projects, through which substantial amounts of observing
time have been dedicated to addressing topics for which Suzaku is uniquely
suited to make a major contribution.  The meeting will also emphasize Suzaku's
strong synergistic relation with existing observatories (Fermi, ground-based
TeV, Chandra, XMM) as well as with eagerly anticipated new missions:  NuSTAR,
GEMS, ASTROSAT, eROSITA, and particularly ASTRO-H.  The meeting will be
hosted by the Kavli Institute for Particle Physics and Astronomy at the
Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) on July 20-22, 2011.  The program
will include invited papers as well as contributed oral and poster papers. 
A special oral session will be devoted to work by graduate students and
recent Ph.D.'s who have used Suzaku data in writing their dissertation.

Information regarding conference details, abstract submission, and
registration will be available early next year, and we apologize if
you receive multiple copies of this email.
