Washington, D.C.
Chandra X-ray Center, Marshall Space Flight Center, Goddard Space Flight Center, and the University of Maryland are organizing the Symposium to highlight key science results from the first two years of operation of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The meeting will include discoveries made with the impressive imaging and spectroscopy capabilities of this great observatory. Virtually every astrophysics topic will be covered. These will include stellar coronae, star formation, compact objects, black holes, AGN, quasars, supernova remnants, clusters of galaxies, solar system objects and the resolution of the long standing mystery as to the origin of the X-ray background. Contributions covering recent results from XMM-Newton and other X-ray observatories are also encouraged.
